An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-6154 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Watchguard Fireware. 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-2016-6154/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6154/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6154","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6154/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6154","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mp33-hchw-9hvg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Watchguard Fireware OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in the authentication applet allows attackers to execute scripts or redirect users, potentially leading to session hijacking.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"fireware","vendor":"watchguard"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"},{"id":"CWE-601","name":"URL Redirection to Untrusted Site"}],"description":"The authentication applet in Watchguard Fireware 11.11 Operating System has reflected XSS (this can also cause an open redirect).","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":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6154","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"watchguard:fireware","products":["watchguard:fireware"],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6156"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6153"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-08-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WatchGuard Firebox and XTM Appliances Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2022-26318","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2022-03-04"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"WatchGuard Firebox Out of Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2025-14733","kev_date_added":"2025-12-19","published":"2025-12-19"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"WatchGuard Firebox Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2025-9242","kev_date_added":"2025-11-12","published":"2025-09-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WatchGuard Firebox and XTM Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2022-23176","kev_date_added":"2022-04-11","published":"2022-02-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-31789","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-06"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-6021","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-10-19"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Fireware OS Code Injection in BOVPN Over TLS Client Allows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-86131","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-29"}],"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":"Reflected XSS in the authentication applet allows attackers to execute scripts or redirect users, potentially leading to session hijacking.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6154/"}
