It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-8939 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Spectrum Protect. 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-2016-8939/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8939/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8939","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8939/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8939","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h7j3-gwg9-m4f5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Protect client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can read stored passwords from the Windows Registry, compromising credentials for IBM Spectrum Protect clients.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"tivoli_storage_manager","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) clients/agents store password information in the Windows Registry in a manner which can be compromised.
