It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5237 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5237/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5237/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5237","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5237/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5237","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2g73-r5mm-3q95"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Steam client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can modify Steam program files due to weak permissions, potentially gaining elevated privileges by replacing the executable.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"steamos","vendor":"valvesoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Valve Steam 3.42.16.13 uses weak permissions for the files in the Steam program directory, which allows local users to modify the files and possibly gain privileges as demonstrated by a Trojan horse Steam.exe file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-06-06","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-06-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39888","stars":null,"title":"Valve Steam 3.42.16.13 - Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5237","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5238"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5236"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-01-23","related":[{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7128","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-12-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can modify Steam program files due to weak permissions, potentially gaining elevated privileges by replacing the executable.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5237/"}
