An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Corporation Distributed Marketing. 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-2016-5979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5979/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rq24-45qx-qfx2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Distributed Marketing","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Privileged users can create instances with invalid security profiles, rendering them inaccessible to intended users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"business_logic"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"distributed_marketing","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":2.7,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"IBM Distributed Marketing 8.6, 9.0, and 10.0 could allow a privileged authenticated user to create an instance that gets created with security profile not valid for the templates, that results in the new instance not accessible for the intended user.
