It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5709 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-2016-5709/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5709/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5709","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5709/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5709","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2p97-9g3q-fphp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Virtualization Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers with superuser privileges can brute force weakly encrypted passwords stored in /etc/shadow to obtain user credentials.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"virtualization_manager","vendor":"solarwinds"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"SolarWinds Virtualization Manager 6.3.1 and earlier uses weak encryption to store passwords in /etc/shadow, which allows local users with superuser privileges to obtain user passwords via a brute force attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5709","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5710"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"phpMyAdmin Denial Of Service (DOS) attack","id":"CVE-2016-5706"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-06-24","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"SolarWinds Virtualization Manager Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2016-3643","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2016-06-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3642","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-17"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers with superuser privileges can brute force weakly encrypted passwords stored in /etc/shadow to obtain user credentials.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5709/"}
