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-2016-6465 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Email Security Appliance. 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-2016-6465/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6465/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6465","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6465/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6465","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wff9-q6wf-8f5q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco Email/Web Security","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass content filters on Cisco Email and Web Security Appliances if scanning services are enabled.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"email_security_appliance","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the content filtering functionality of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Email Security Appliances and Cisco Web Security Appliances could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass user filters that are configured for an affected device.
