It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2016-6649 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2016-6649 is a medium-severity command injection vulnerability in EMC RecoverPoint and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines EMC RecoverPoint versions before 4.4.1.1 and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions before 5.0, published on 3 Feb 2017. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-6649 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: EMC RecoverPoint and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines EMC RecoverPoint versions before 4.4.1.1 and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions before 5.0. 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-2016-6649/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6649/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6649","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6649/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6649","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5jfx-7f69-3rjp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Data protection software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A malicious administrator can bypass the UI to execute commands and escalate privileges to root in EMC RecoverPoint.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"recoverpoint_for_virtual_machines","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"recoverpoint","vendor":"emc"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"EMC RecoverPoint versions before 4.4.1.1 and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions before 5.0 are affected by multiple command injection vulnerabilities where a malicious administrator with configuration privileges may bypass the user interface and escalate his privileges to root.","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":"Command injection in EMC RecoverPoint and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines EMC RecoverPoint versions before 4.4.1.1 and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions before 5.0","id":"CVE-2016-6649","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in EMC RecoverPoint versions prior to 5.0 and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions prior to 5.0","id":"CVE-2016-6650"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in EMC RecoverPoint and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines EMC RecoverPoint versions before 4.4.1.1 and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions before 5.0","id":"CVE-2016-6648"},"products":["EMC RecoverPoint and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines EMC RecoverPoint versions before 4.4.1.1 and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions before 5.0"],"published":"2017-02-03","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines (RP4VMs) Use of Hard-coded Credentials","id":"CVE-2026-22769","kev_date_added":"2026-02-18","published":"2026-02-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines","id":"CVE-2024-22461","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in EMC RecoverPoint versions prior to 5.0 and EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions prior to 5.0","id":"CVE-2016-6650","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-21"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Command injection in RecoverPoint for VMs","id":"CVE-2024-22426","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-16"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in RecoverPoint for VMs","id":"CVE-2025-21105","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-20"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Missing authorization in RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines","id":"CVE-2024-24902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-13"}],"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":"A malicious administrator can bypass the UI to execute commands and escalate privileges to root in EMC RecoverPoint.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6649/"}
