It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-36016 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-36016 is a low-severity vulnerability in Adobe Media Encoder, published on 20 Aug 2021. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-36016 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Media Encoder. 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-2021-36016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-36016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36016/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-36016","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7vxj-2hvq-f9vm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Media Encoder","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can read arbitrary file system information by tricking a user into opening a malicious FLV file in Adobe Media Encoder.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"media_encoder","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":3.3,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"Adobe Media Encoder version 15.2 (and earlier) is affected by an Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file.
