An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-8827 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Nvidia Corporation GeForce Experience. 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-2016-8827/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8827/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8827","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8827/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8827","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xmcx-3xp5-5g3c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA GeForce Experience","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can exploit a directory traversal flaw in the web helper API to disclose sensitive information from the system.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"geforce_experience","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"NVIDIA GeForce Experience 3.x before GFE 3.1.0.52 contains a vulnerability in NVIDIA Web Helper.exe where a local web API endpoint, /VisualOPS/v.1.0./, lacks proper access control and parameter validation, allowing for information disclosure via a directory traversal attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2016-8827","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2016-8828"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Windows GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2016-8826"},"products":["GeForce Experience"],"published":"2016-12-16","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2017-6250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Quadro, NVS, and GeForce (all versions)","id":"CVE-2016-8812","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-08"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2021-1073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Path traversal in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2022-42291","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-07"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Missing authorization in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2021-23175","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5977","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-23"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["Nvidia Corporation"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit a directory traversal flaw in the web helper API to disclose sensitive information from the system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8827/"}
