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-2016-7086 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-2016-7086/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7086/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-7086","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7086/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-7086","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hpwr-wxhg-pcqw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Workstation","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by placing a malicious setup64.exe in the installation directory of VMware Workstation on Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"workstation_player","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation_pro","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The installer in VMware Workstation Pro 12.x before 12.5.0 and VMware Workstation Player 12.x before 12.5.0 on Windows allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse setup64.exe file in the installation directory.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7086","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7087"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7085"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-12-29","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Workstation Pro/Player","id":"CVE-2017-4898","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Workstation Pro/Player","id":"CVE-2017-4915","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7081","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7082","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7083","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7085","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-29"}],"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":"Local attackers can gain privileges by placing a malicious setup64.exe in the installation directory of VMware Workstation on Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7086/"}
