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-2016-8007 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel Host Intrusion Prevention Services (HIPS). 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-2016-8007/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8007/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8007","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8007/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8007","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mp5x-rx8p-m26p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Host Intrusion Prevention","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass authentication to manipulate registry keys in McAfee HIPS, potentially escalating privileges or bypassing security controls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"host_intrusion_prevention_services","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Authentication bypass vulnerability in McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention Services (HIPS) 8.0 Patch 7 and earlier allows authenticated users to manipulate the product's registry keys via specific conditions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2019-11-12","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-11-12T19:23:05Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/dmaasland/mcafee-hip-CVE-2016-8007","stars":1,"title":null}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in Host Intrusion Prevention Services (HIPS)","id":"CVE-2016-8007","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Security Scan Plus (SSP)","id":"CVE-2016-8008"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8006"},"products":["Host Intrusion Prevention Services (HIPS)"],"published":"2017-03-14","related":[],"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":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["Intel"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can bypass authentication to manipulate registry keys in McAfee HIPS, potentially escalating privileges or bypassing security controls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8007/"}
