Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5716 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Puppet Puppet Enterprise. 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-2016-5716/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5716/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5716","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5716/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5716","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3mf2-j3p3-w43q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Puppet Enterprise console","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on the Puppet Enterprise console node due to unsafe string reads in the console component.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"puppet","cpe":[{"product":"puppet_enterprise","vendor":"puppet"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"The console in Puppet Enterprise 2015.x and 2016.x prior to 2016.4.0 includes unsafe string reads that potentially allows for remote code execution on the console node.","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":"Code injection in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2016-5716","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"puppet:puppet_enterprise","products":["puppet:puppet_enterprise"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5720"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5715"},"products":["Puppet Enterprise"],"published":"2017-08-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2023-2530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2019-10694","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2018-11749","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-24"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Other in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2021-27020","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5686","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7330","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-04-11"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Puppet"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on the Puppet Enterprise console node due to unsafe string reads in the console component.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5716/"}
