An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-9491 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zohocorp Manageengine Applications Manager. 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-2016-9491/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9491/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9491","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9491/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9491","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9f95-rp9g-wg85"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IT management software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit XML external entity flaws to read sensitive system files and configuration data, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"manageengine_applications_manager","vendor":"zohocorp"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"},{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"ManageEngine Applications Manager 12 and 13 before build 13690 allows an authenticated user, who is able to access /register.do page (most likely limited to administrator), to browse the filesystem and read the system files, including Applications Manager configuration, stored private keys, etc. By default Application Manager is running with administrative privileges, therefore it is possible to access every directory on the underlying operating system.","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":"XML external entity in Applications Manager","id":"CVE-2016-9491","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"zohocorp:manageengine_applications_manager","products":["zohocorp:manageengine_applications_manager"],"type":"xxe","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"PHP forms generated using the PHP FormMail Generator are vulnerable to unrestricted upload of dangerous file types","id":"CVE-2016-9492"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ManageEngine Applications Manager versions 12 and 13 suffer from a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability","id":"CVE-2016-9490"},"products":["Applications Manager"],"published":"2018-07-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24743","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-27995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15394","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-19649","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11469","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11448","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-22"}],"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":["ManageEngine"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit XML external entity flaws to read sensitive system files and configuration data, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9491/"}
