An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2019-16278 in the wild since at least 7 Nov 2024.\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-2019-16278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-16278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16278/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-16278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-495x-r3cr-6rgx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"nostromo web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can achieve remote code execution on the nostromo web server via a crafted HTTP request exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"nostromo_nhttpd","vendor":"nazgul"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","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-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory Traversal in the function http_verify in nostromo nhttpd through 1.9.6 allows an attacker to achieve remote code execution via a crafted HTTP request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2019-10-15","github_poc":15,"max_poc_stars":70,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2019-10-15T03:40:13Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/jas502n/CVE-2019-16278","stars":70,"title":"Directory transversal to remote code execution"},{"date":"2019-10-15T09:22:36Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/imjdl/CVE-2019-16278-PoC","stars":9,"title":"CVE-2019-16728  Proof of Concept"},{"date":"2019-11-22T18:35:14Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/AnubisSec/CVE-2019-16278","stars":8,"title":"A quick python exploit for the Nostromo 1.9.6 remote code execution vulnerability.
