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-2016-5918 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Corporation Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows. 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-2016-5918/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5918/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5918","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5918/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5918","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5g9p-5gfh-ghcw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"IBM TSM HSM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can read encrypted passwords from trace logs when password access is set to prompt, exposing sensitive credentials.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"tivoli_storage_manager_for_space_management","vendor":"ibm"}],"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":"IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows displays the encrypted Tivoli Storage Manager password in application trace output if the password access option is prompt and the password is changed.","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":"Information disclosure in Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows","id":"CVE-2016-5918","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in Access Manager","id":"CVE-2016-5919"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5905"},"products":["Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows"],"published":"2017-02-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4859","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-21"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5954","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-21"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5927","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-12"}],"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":["IBM Corporation"]},"summary":"Attackers can read encrypted passwords from trace logs when password access is set to prompt, exposing sensitive credentials.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5918/"}
