Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-8523 exists.\n\nAffected product: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Smart Storage Administrator. 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-2016-8523/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8523/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8523","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8523/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8523","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-65fv-3v96-h767"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HPE Smart Storage Administrator","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on systems running HPE Smart Storage Administrator via command injection.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hpe","cpe":[{"product":"smart_storage_administrator","vendor":"hp"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"A Remote Arbitrary Code Execution vulnerability in HPE Smart Storage Administrator version before v2.60.18.0 was found.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-02-10","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-02-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"41297","stars":null,"title":"HP Smart Storage Administrator 2.30.6.0 - Remote Command Injection (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Command injection in Smart Storage Administrator","id":"CVE-2016-8523","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2016-8524"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Diagnostics","id":"CVE-2016-8522"},"products":["Smart Storage Administrator"],"published":"2018-02-15","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":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Hewlett Packard Enterprise"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on systems running HPE Smart Storage Administrator via command injection.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8523/"}
