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-2016-7460 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-2016-7460/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7460/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-7460","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7460/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-7460","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mhmr-f673-jqv8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware vCenter Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files or cause denial of service via XML External Entity attacks in VMware vCenter Server and vRealize Automation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"vrealize_automation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"The Single Sign-On feature in VMware vCenter Server 5.5 before U3e and 6.0 before U2a and vRealize Automation 6.x before 6.2.5 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service via an XML document containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.","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":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7460","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7461"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7459"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-12-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in vRealize Automation","id":"CVE-2018-6959","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in vRealize Automation","id":"CVE-2017-4947","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware vRealize Automation 7.0.x before 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.","id":"CVE-2016-5336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"XML external entity in VMware vRealize Orchestrator, VMware vRealize Automation, VMware Cloud Foundation","id":"CVE-2023-20855","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-21"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Open redirect in VMware vRealize Orchestrator","id":"CVE-2021-22036","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-13"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in vRealize Automation","id":"CVE-2018-6958","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-13"}],"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":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files or cause denial of service via XML External Entity attacks in VMware vCenter Server and vRealize Automation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7460/"}
