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-2017-15999 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2017-15999/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15999/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-15999","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15999/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-15999","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vxjg-xmrq-x393"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Android backup app","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can intercept cleartext credentials and weak password hashes transmitted by the NQ Contacts Backup \u0026 Restore Android app, leading to data exposure and account compromise.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"contacts_backup_\\\u0026_restore","vendor":"nq"}],"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-319","name":"Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"In the \"NQ Contacts Backup \u0026 Restore\" application 1.1 for Android, no HTTPS is used for transmitting login and synced user data.
