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-2016-6199 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-2016-6199/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6199/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6199","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6199/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6199","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-6199","GHSA-f65r-2xfr-g5gx","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-6199"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Gradle build tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code in Gradle by sending a crafted serialized object to the ObjectSocketWrapper.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"gradle","vendor":"gradle"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"ObjectSocketWrapper.java in Gradle 2.12 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized object.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6199","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"deserialization","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6201"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6198"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-02-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-15052","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Local privilege escalation through system temporary directory","id":"CVE-2021-29428","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-13"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Gradle fails to disable repositories which can expose builds to malicious artifacts","id":"CVE-2026-22816","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Gradle's failure to disable repositories failing to answer can expose builds to malicious artifacts","id":"CVE-2026-22865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-41588","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-24"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Repository content filters do not work in Settings pluginManagement","id":"CVE-2021-29427","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-13"}],"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 attackers can execute arbitrary code in Gradle by sending a crafted serialized object to the ObjectSocketWrapper.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6199/"}
