Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5972 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-2016-5972/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5972/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5972","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5972/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5972","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-253g-g2mf-qcvg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Privileged Identity Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can obtain sensitive information or modify data due to weak permissions on unspecified resources in IBM ISPIM Virtual Appliance.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"security_privileged_identity_manager_virtual_appliance","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager (ISPIM) Virtual Appliance 2.x before 2.0.2 FP8 uses weak permissions for unspecified resources, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information or modify data via unspecified vectors.","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":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5972","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5971"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-26","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5963","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5957","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-26"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5971","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-26"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-26"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5970","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-26"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5974","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-26"}],"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":"Remote authenticated users can obtain sensitive information or modify data due to weak permissions on unspecified resources in IBM ISPIM Virtual Appliance.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5972/"}
