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-2017-16935 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-2017-16935/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16935/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16935","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16935/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16935","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4x38-6389-m4h2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ametys CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication checks to access sensitive endpoints, allowing them to view user details and modify accounts, including changing admin passwords.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ametys","vendor":"ametys"}],"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":"Ametys before 4.0.3 requires authentication only for URIs containing a /cms/ substring, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a direct request to /plugins/core-ui/servercomm/messages.xml, as demonstrated by changing the admin password by obtaining account details via a users/search.json request, and then modifying the account via an editUser request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-11-07","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-11-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44050","stars":null,"title":"Ametys CMS 4.0.2 - Password Reset"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16935","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16936"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16934"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-11-24","related":[{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-30614","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-12"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-26159","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-28"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Ametys CMS v4.4.1 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2022-50937","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-13"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication checks to access sensitive endpoints, allowing them to view user details and modify accounts, including changing admin passwords.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16935/"}
