An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2016-8581 exists.\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-2016-8581/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8581/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8581","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8581/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8581","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pf5m-28cv-hpp4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"AlienVault OSSIM USM","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Persistent XSS in the login process allows attackers to steal session IDs from administrators viewing current sessions, leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"open_source_security_information_and_event_management","vendor":"alienvault"},{"product":"unified_security_management","vendor":"alienvault"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A persistent XSS vulnerability exists in the User-Agent header of the login process of AlienVault OSSIM and USM before 5.3.2 that allows an attacker to steal session IDs of logged in users when the current sessions are viewed by an administrator.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2014-04-24","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2014-04-24","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/http/alienvault_sqli_exec","stars":null,"title":"AlienVault OSSIM SQL Injection and Remote Code Execution"},{"date":"2016-11-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"40683","stars":null,"title":"Alienvault OSSIM/USM 5.3.1 - Persistent Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8581","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8582"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8580"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-10-28","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8580","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8582","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-28"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-8583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-28"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6913","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-26"}],"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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Persistent XSS in the login process allows attackers to steal session IDs from administrators viewing current sessions, leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8581/"}
