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-2016-8526 exists.\n\nAffected product: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Aruba AirWave. 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-2016-8526/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8526/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8526","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8526/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8526","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f7p7-p4m6-xxhq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Aruba AirWave","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An unprivileged user can exploit XML External Entity injection to read local files and potentially escalate privileges in Aruba AirWave.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hpe","cpe":[{"product":"airwave","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-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"Aruba Airwave all versions up to, but not including, 8.2.3.1 is vulnerable to an XML external entities (XXE). XXEs are a way to permit XML parsers to access storage that exist on external systems. If an unprivileged user is permitted to control the contents of XML files, XXE can be used as an attack vector. Because the XML parser has access to the local filesystem and runs with the permissions of the web server, it can access any file that is readable by the web server and copy it to an external system of the attacker's choosing. This could include files that contain passwords, which could then lead to privilege escalation.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-03-01","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-03-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"41482","stars":null,"title":"Aruba AirWave 8.2.3 - XML External Entity Injection / Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"XML external entity in Aruba AirWave","id":"CVE-2016-8526","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Aruba AirWave","id":"CVE-2016-8527"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in iMC PLAT","id":"CVE-2016-8525"},"products":["Aruba AirWave"],"published":"2018-08-06","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1391","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-05"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1390","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-05"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Aruba AirWave","id":"CVE-2016-8527","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-06"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["Hewlett Packard Enterprise"]},"summary":"An unprivileged user can exploit XML External Entity injection to read local files and potentially escalate privileges in Aruba AirWave.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8526/"}
