An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5996 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-2016-5996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5996/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mxvf-fgg2-9qxj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Tealeaf Customer Experience","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The web portal fails to enforce password length restrictions, allowing remote attackers to gain access via brute-force attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"tealeaf_customer_experience","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-640","name":"Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password"}],"description":"The web portal in IBM Tealeaf Customer Experience before 8.7.1.8847 FP10, 8.8 before 8.8.0.9049 FP9, 9.0.0 and 9.0.1 before 9.0.1.1117 FP5, 9.0.1A before 9.0.1.5108_9.0.1A FP5, 9.0.2 before 9.0.2.1223 FP3, and 9.0.2A before 9.0.2.5224_9.0.2A FP3 does not enforce password-length restrictions, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.","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":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5996","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5997"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5995"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Tealeaf Customer Experience","id":"CVE-2017-1204","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-26"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4988","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-01-18"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in Tealeaf Customer Experience","id":"CVE-2016-2983","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-26"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5977","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-26"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4987","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-27"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Path traversal in Tealeaf Customer Experience","id":"CVE-2017-1279","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-26"}],"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":"The web portal fails to enforce password length restrictions, allowing remote attackers to gain access via brute-force attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5996/"}
