An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2016-6659 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2016-6659 is a high-severity vulnerability in Cloud Foundry v247 and earlier and UAA v3.9.2 \u0026 earlier and UAA bosh (uaa-release) v23 \u0026 earlier, published on 23 Dec 2016. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-6659 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cloud Foundry v247 and earlier and UAA v3.9.2 \u0026 earlier and UAA bosh (uaa-release) v23 \u0026 earlier. 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-2016-6659/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6659/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6659","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6659/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6659","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8pj8-jjrc-8g8h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cloud Foundry UAA","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by accessing UAA logs and interacting with a SAML provider, affecting Cloud Foundry deployments.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_foundry_uaa_bosh","vendor":"cloudfoundry"},{"product":"cloud_foundry","vendor":"pivotal_software"},{"product":"cloud_foundry_uaa","vendor":"pivotal_software"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Cloud Foundry before 248; UAA 2.x before 2.7.4.12, 3.x before 3.6.5, and 3.7.x through 3.9.x before 3.9.3; and UAA bosh release (aka uaa-release) before 13.9 for UAA 3.6.5 and before 24 for UAA 3.9.3 allow attackers to gain privileges by accessing UAA logs and subsequently running a specially crafted application that interacts with a configured SAML provider.","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":"Privilege escalation in Cloud Foundry v247 and earlier and UAA v3.9.2 \u0026 earlier and UAA bosh (uaa-release) v23 \u0026 earlier","id":"CVE-2016-6659","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2016-6660"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6658"},"products":["Cloud Foundry v247 and earlier and UAA v3.9.2 \u0026 earlier and UAA bosh (uaa-release) v23 \u0026 earlier"],"published":"2016-12-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Cloud Foundry vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery","id":"CVE-2016-6637","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cloud Foundry UAA Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-4973","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4468","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6651","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-30"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Cloud Foundry UAA reset password vulnerable to brute force attack","id":"CVE-2016-3084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-25"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Other in Cloud Foundry","id":"CVE-2017-4994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-13"}],"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":"Attackers can escalate privileges by accessing UAA logs and interacting with a SAML provider, affecting Cloud Foundry deployments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6659/"}
