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-2016-6523 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-2016-6523/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6523/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6523","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6523/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6523","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2pvj-5j7v-jjxj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dotclear CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the Dotclear media manager via specific parameters, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dotclear","vendor":"dotclear"}],"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":"Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the media manager in Dotclear before 2.10 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) q or (2) link_type parameter to admin/media.php.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6523","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6525"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6522"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-12-09","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3957","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-12-01"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3232","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8832","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-04"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Dotclear 2.25.3 Authenticated Remote Code Execution via File Upload","id":"CVE-2023-53952","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-19"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Dotclear 2.29 Remote Code Execution via Authenticated File Upload","id":"CVE-2024-58281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-10"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1613","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-05-16"}],"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 into the Dotclear media manager via specific parameters, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6523/"}
