Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-8973 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Rational Rhapsody Design Manager. 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-2016-8973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8973/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8973","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g3q5-wwmf-q83w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Rhapsody DM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can upload malicious files to IBM Rhapsody Design Manager, potentially leading to code execution on the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"rational_rhapsody_design_manager","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"IBM Rhapsody DM 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 contains an undisclosed vulnerability that may allow an authenticated user to upload infected malicious files to the server.
