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-2016-9160 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SIEMENS SIMATIC WinCC (All versions \u003c SIMATIC WinCC V7.2) and SIEMENS SIMATIC PCS 7 (All versions \u003c SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 SP1). 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-2016-9160/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9160/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9160","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9160/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9160","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-chxw-x27v-grr7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SCADA HMI software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash an ActiveX component or leak application memory by tricking users into clicking malicious links in Siemens SCADA systems.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[{"product":"simatic_pcs_7","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_wincc","vendor":"siemens"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-254","name":null},{"id":"CWE-111","name":"Direct Use of Unsafe JNI"}],"description":"A vulnerability in SIEMENS SIMATIC WinCC (All versions \u003c SIMATIC WinCC V7.2) and SIEMENS SIMATIC PCS 7 (All versions \u003c SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 SP1) could allow a remote attacker to crash an ActiveX component or leak parts of the application memory if a user is tricked into clicking on a malicious link under certain conditions.","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":"Information disclosure in SIEMENS SIMATIC WinCC (All versions \u003c SIMATIC WinCC V7.2) and SIEMENS SIMATIC PCS 7 (All versions \u003c SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 SP1)","id":"CVE-2016-9160","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2016-9161"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in SIMATIC S7-300 CPU family","id":"CVE-2016-9159"},"products":["SIEMENS SIMATIC WinCC (All versions \u003c SIMATIC WinCC V7.2) and SIEMENS SIMATIC PCS 7 (All versions \u003c SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 SP1)"],"published":"2016-12-17","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in SIMATIC PCS 7","id":"CVE-2023-25910","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-13"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Path traversal in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2","id":"CVE-2021-40358","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 and earlier","id":"CVE-2019-10922","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2","id":"CVE-2021-40360","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL injection in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 and earlier","id":"CVE-2019-10916","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 and earlier","id":"CVE-2019-10918","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-14"}],"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 attackers can crash an ActiveX component or leak application memory by tricking users into clicking malicious links in Siemens SCADA systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9160/"}
