An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2019-16174 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2019-16174 is a high-severity vulnerability in Limesurvey Limesurvey, published on 9 Sep 2019. 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-2019-16174 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Limesurvey Limesurvey. 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-2019-16174/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16174/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-16174","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16174/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-16174","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jhh2-vhmg-x3cq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LimeSurvey","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute code or compromise data integrity by importing specially crafted XML files in LimeSurvey.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"limesurvey","vendor":"limesurvey"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"An XML injection vulnerability was found in Limesurvey before 3.17.14 that allows remote attackers to import specially crafted XML files and execute code or compromise data integrity.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16174","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"limesurvey:limesurvey","products":["limesurvey:limesurvey"],"type":"xxe","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16175"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting in LimeSurvey","id":"CVE-2019-16173"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-09-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-56422","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-25019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11455","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"TCPDF vulnerable to attackers triggering deserialization of arbitrary data","id":"CVE-2018-17057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-14"}],"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 execute code or compromise data integrity by importing specially crafted XML files in LimeSurvey.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16174/"}
