An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-5616 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-2017-5616/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5616/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-5616","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5616/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-5616","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-253q-85fr-vjfv","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-5616"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CGI email scripts","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the addendum parameter in cgiemail and cgiecho scripts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cgiecho","vendor":"cpanel"},{"product":"cgiemail","vendor":"cpanel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in cgiemail and cgiecho allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the addendum parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5616","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Server Side Request Forgery in svgSalamander","id":"CVE-2017-5617"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5615"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-03","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5613","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-03"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5615","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-03"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the addendum parameter in cgiemail and cgiecho scripts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5616/"}
