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-2016-5720 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-2016-5720/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5720/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5720","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5720/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5720","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-crjr-3gpp-8g9q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Skype desktop client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code via DLL hijacking by placing malicious libraries in the current working directory of Skype.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"skype","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in Microsoft Skype allow local users to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse (1) msi.dll, (2) dpapi.dll, or (3) cryptui.dll that is located in the current working directory.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5720","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5721"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2016-5716"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-01-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9948","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Skype for Windows","id":"CVE-2018-0594","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in The installer of Skype for Windows","id":"CVE-2018-0595","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-26"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Information disclosure in Skype","id":"CVE-2019-0932","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-16"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Auth bypass in Skype","id":"CVE-2019-0622","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-01-08"}],"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 can execute arbitrary code via DLL hijacking by placing malicious libraries in the current working directory of Skype.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5720/"}
