An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-9420 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mybb Mybb. 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-2016-9420/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9420/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9420","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9420/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9420","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8g78-7gc4-jx8q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MyBB forum software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass security checks in MyBB forum software due to loose comparison errors, potentially compromising application integrity.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"merge_system","vendor":"mybb"},{"product":"mybb","vendor":"mybb"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"MyBB (aka MyBulletinBoard) before 1.8.8 and MyBB Merge System before 1.8.8 allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to \"loose comparison false positives.\"","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":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9420","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mybb:mybb","products":["mybb:mybb"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9421"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9419"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-01-31","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8974","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9402","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"newreply.php in MyBB (aka MyBulletinBoard) before 1.8.7 and MyBB Merge System before 1.8.7 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impac","id":"CVE-2016-9403","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9412","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9416","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-31"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8973","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-31"}],"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 bypass security checks in MyBB forum software due to loose comparison errors, potentially compromising application integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9420/"}
