Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-6588 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec IT Management Suite. 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-2016-6588/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6588/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6588","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6588/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6588","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4h9h-37ch-jq2m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IT Management Suite","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An XSS vulnerability in the Symantec IT Management Suite console allows attackers to execute scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"it_management_suite","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the ITMS workflow process manager console in Symantec IT Management Suite 8.0.","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 IT Management Suite","id":"CVE-2016-6588","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in IT Management Suite","id":"CVE-2016-6589"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Norton Mobile Security for Android","id":"CVE-2016-6587"},"products":["IT Management Suite"],"published":"2020-01-08","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Denial of service in IT Management Suite","id":"CVE-2016-6589","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-08"}],"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":["Symantec"]},"summary":"An XSS vulnerability in the Symantec IT Management Suite console allows attackers to execute scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6588/"}
