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-2016-9263 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wordpress Wordpress. 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-2016-9263/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9263/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9263","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9263/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9263","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-9263","GHSA-94pj-jgcq-pjjg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute cross-domain Flash injection in WordPress if specific sandboxing is disabled, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress","vendor":"wordpress"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"WordPress through 4.8.2, when domain-based flashmediaelement.swf sandboxing is not used, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-domain Flash injection (XSF) attacks by leveraging code contained within the wp-includes/js/mediaelement/flashmediaelement.swf file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9263","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wordpress:wordpress","products":["wordpress:wordpress"],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9264"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9262"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-10-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress Core Interpretation Conflict","id":"CVE-2026-63030","kev_date_added":"2026-07-21","published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"WordPress Core Remote File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2026-87902","kev_date_added":"2026-09-25","published":"2026-09-22"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Core SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2026-60137","kev_date_added":"2026-07-21","published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2399","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2400","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3125","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"}],"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 execute cross-domain Flash injection in WordPress if specific sandboxing is disabled, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9263/"}
