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-2016-7457 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-2016-7457/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7457/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-7457","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7457/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-7457","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xm6j-mv8r-9mhp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware vRealize Operations","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote authenticated users can gain privileges or halt and remove virtual machines in VMware vRealize Operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"vrealize_operations","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"VMware vRealize Operations (aka vROps) 6.x before 6.4.0 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges, or halt and remove virtual machines, via unspecified vectors.","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-2016-7457","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7458"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7456"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-12-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in vRealize Operations for Horizon Adapter","id":"CVE-2020-3943","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in VMware vRealize Operations (vROps)","id":"CVE-2023-20856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in VMware vRealize Operations","id":"CVE-2022-31673","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Auth bypass in vRealize Operations for Horizon Adapter","id":"CVE-2020-3944","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-19"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7462","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in VMware vRealize Operations","id":"CVE-2022-31675","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"}],"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":"Remote authenticated users can gain privileges or halt and remove virtual machines in VMware vRealize Operations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7457/"}
