Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-6211 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- drupal/core (Packagist): affected from 7.0; fixed in 7.44\n- drupal/core (Packagist): affected from 7.0; fixed in 7.44\n- drupal/drupal (Packagist): affected from 7.0; fixed in 7.44\n- drupal/drupal (Packagist): affected from 7.0; fixed in 7.44\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-2016-6211/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6211/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6211","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6211/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6211","record":{"aliases":["DLA-550-1","DSA-3604-1","GHSA-frqf-9qr4-6vxf","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-6211"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Drupal CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can escalate privileges in Drupal 7 by triggering a user profile form rebuild via contributed or custom code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"drupal","vendor":"drupal"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The User module in Drupal 7.x before 7.44 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via vectors involving contributed or custom code that triggers a rebuild of the user profile form.","ecosystems":["Packagist"],"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":"Drupal Saving user accounts can sometimes grant the user all roles","id":"CVE-2016-6211","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Packagist","product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","drupal:drupal"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Drupal Views can allow unauthorized users to see Statistics information","id":"CVE-2016-6212"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["7.44"],"introduced":["7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"drupal/core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-frqf-9qr4-6vxf"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["7.44"],"introduced":["7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"drupal/core","purl":"pkg:composer/drupal/core","source":"GHSA-frqf-9qr4-6vxf"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["7.44"],"introduced":["7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"drupal/drupal","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-frqf-9qr4-6vxf"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["7.44"],"introduced":["7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"drupal/drupal","purl":"pkg:composer/drupal/drupal","source":"GHSA-frqf-9qr4-6vxf"}],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6210"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-09","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"Authenticated users can escalate privileges in Drupal 7 by triggering a user profile form rebuild via contributed or custom code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6211/"}
