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-2016-6914 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-2016-6914/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6914/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6914","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6914/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6914","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m6qh-7ffq-jg2w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"UniFi Video Windows","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain SYSTEM privileges by placing a malicious taskkill.exe in the weakly protected installation directory of UniFi Video for Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"unifi_video","vendor":"ui"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"Ubiquiti UniFi Video before 3.8.0 for Windows uses weak permissions for the installation directory, which allows local users to gain SYSTEM privileges via a Trojan horse taskkill.exe file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-12-26","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-12-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"43390","stars":null,"title":"Ubiquiti UniFi Video 3.7.3 - Local Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2025-02-13T06:53:39Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/CybermonkX/CVE-2016-6914-UniFiVideo-LPE","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2016-6914-UniFiVideo-LPE"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6914","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6915"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6913"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-12-27","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in UniFi Video Server","id":"CVE-2019-5430","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-06"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Path traversal in UniFi Video Controller (for Windows 7/8/10 x64)","id":"CVE-2020-8144","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24755","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in UniFi Video Controller (for Windows 7/8/10 x64)","id":"CVE-2020-8146","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in UniFi Video Controller (for Windows 7/8/10 x64)","id":"CVE-2020-8145","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2227","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-07-25"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain SYSTEM privileges by placing a malicious taskkill.exe in the weakly protected installation directory of UniFi Video for Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6914/"}
