Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-9149 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Paloaltonetworks Pan-Os. 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-2016-9149/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9149/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9149","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9149/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9149","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f22j-95w2-7rx5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Palo Alto PAN-OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can execute arbitrary code via XPath injection in the Addresses Object parser of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pan-os","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-19","name":null}],"description":"The Addresses Object parser in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS before 5.0.20, 5.1.x before 5.1.13, 6.0.x before 6.0.15, 6.1.x before 6.1.15, 7.0.x before 7.0.11, and 7.1.x before 7.1.6 mishandles single quote characters, which allows remote authenticated users to conduct XPath injection attacks via a crafted string.","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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9149","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"paloaltonetworks:pan-os","products":["paloaltonetworks:pan-os"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9150"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9148"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2024-3400","kev_date_added":"2024-04-12","published":"2024-04-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-2021","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2020-06-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-15944","kev_date_added":"2022-08-18","published":"2017-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-0300","kev_date_added":"2026-05-06","published":"2026-05-06"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Management Interface Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2024-0012","kev_date_added":"2024-11-18","published":"2024-11-18"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"PHP Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2026-109618","kev_date_added":"2026-10-26","published":"2026-10-21"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"PHP Stale Internal Request-State","id":"CVE-2026-109619","kev_date_added":"2026-10-26","published":"2026-10-21"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated users can execute arbitrary code via XPath injection in the Addresses Object parser of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9149/"}
