An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-8016 exists.\n\nAffected product: Intel VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL). 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-2016-8016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8016/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8016","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w7mx-gfjp-xx9c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux antivirus software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can determine the existence of unauthorized files on Intel VirusScan Enterprise Linux systems via a URL parameter.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"virusscan_enterprise","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":3.4,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Information exposure in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows authenticated remote attackers to obtain the existence of unauthorized files on the system via a URL parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-12-13","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":5,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-12-13T21:25:05Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/opsxcq/exploit-CVE-2016-8016-25","stars":5,"title":"McAfee Virus Scan for Linux multiple remote flaws (CVE 2016-8016, CVE 2016-8017, CVE 2016-8018, CVE 2016-8019, CVE 2016-8020, CVE 2016-8021, CVE 2016-8022, CVE 2016-8023, CVE 2016-8024, CVE 2016-8025)"},{"date":"2016-12-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"40911","stars":null,"title":"McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise for Linux 1.9.2 \u003c 2.0.2 - Remote Code Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL)","id":"CVE-2016-8016","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL)","id":"CVE-2016-8017"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2016-8015"},"products":["VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL)"],"published":"2017-03-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5118","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability through symbolic links in VSE for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7266","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability through symbolic links in VSEL","id":"CVE-2020-7267","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL)","id":"CVE-2016-8023","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Other in VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL)","id":"CVE-2016-8024","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Code injection in VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL)","id":"CVE-2016-8020","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-2152","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-04-19"}],"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":["Intel"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can determine the existence of unauthorized files on Intel VirusScan Enterprise Linux systems via a URL parameter.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8016/"}
