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-2018-16529 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Forcepoint Email Security. 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-2018-16529/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16529/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16529","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16529/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16529","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xc68-xqhg-hr75"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Forcepoint Email Security","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can reuse expired or used password reset links to take over user accounts in Forcepoint Email Security.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"forcepoint","cpe":[{"product":"email_security","vendor":"forcepoint"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-640","name":"Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password"}],"description":"A password reset vulnerability has been discovered in Forcepoint Email Security 8.5.x.
