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-2016-9924 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite. 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-2016-9924/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9924/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-9924","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9924/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-9924","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-92j5-798v-g55r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Zimbra Collaboration Suite","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can exploit XML External Entity vulnerabilities in Zimbra Collaboration Suite to read sensitive data or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"zimbra_collaboration_suite","vendor":"synacor"}],"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-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) before 8.7.4 allows remote attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks.","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 n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9924","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"synacor:zimbra_collaboration_suite","products":["synacor:zimbra_collaboration_suite"],"type":"xxe","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in MCabber","id":"CVE-2016-9928"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9923"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-29","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Command Execution","id":"CVE-2024-45519","kev_date_added":"2024-10-03","published":"2024-10-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2022-41352","kev_date_added":"2022-10-20","published":"2022-09-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2022-37042","kev_date_added":"2022-08-11","published":"2022-08-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Command Injection","id":"CVE-2022-27924","kev_date_added":"2022-08-04","published":"2022-04-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Server-Side Request Forgery","id":"CVE-2020-7796","kev_date_added":"2026-02-17","published":"2020-02-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference","id":"CVE-2019-9670","kev_date_added":"2022-01-10","published":"2019-05-29"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-34192","kev_date_added":"2025-02-25","published":"2023-07-06"}],"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 exploit XML External Entity vulnerabilities in Zimbra Collaboration Suite to read sensitive data or cause denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-9924/"}
