It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2016-9197 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2016-9197 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Cisco Mobility Express 2800 and 3800 Series Wireless LAN Controllers, published on 7 Apr 2017. 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-2016-9197 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Mobility Express 2800 and 3800 Series Wireless LAN Controllers. 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-2016-9197/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9197/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9197","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9197/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9197","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w5pr-xh48-9w34"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wireless LAN Controller","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can exploit a CLI parser flaw to gain root-level shell access on Cisco Mobility Express Wireless LAN Controllers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"mobility_services_engine","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"A vulnerability in the CLI command parser of the Cisco Mobility Express 2800 and 3800 Series Wireless LAN Controllers could allow an authenticated, local attacker to obtain access to the underlying operating system shell with root-level privileges.
