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-2016-6436 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-2016-6436/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6436/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6436","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6436/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6436","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cj29-8hcg-f8p3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco ASA Web VPN","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted URLs in Cisco ASA Web VPN, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"hostscan_engine","vendor":"cisco"}],"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"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in HostScan Engine 3.0.08062 through 3.1.14018 in the Cisco Host Scan package, as used in ASA Web VPN, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL, aka Bug ID CSCuz14682.","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-2016-6436","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) before 5.3(5g)1 and 6.x before 6.2(2.32)","id":"CVE-2016-6437"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6435"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-10-06","related":[],"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 inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted URLs in Cisco ASA Web VPN, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6436/"}
