Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-39016 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization Publishing. 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-2021-39016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-39016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-39016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-39016/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-39016","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g28g-9v8x-765w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Engineering Lifecycle","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can cause the software to transmit excessive network traffic, leading to a denial of service condition.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"engineering_lifecycle_optimization_-_publishing","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"engineering_lifecycle_optimization_publishing","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/PR:L/C:N/I:L/UI:N/S:U/AC:L/A:N/AV:N/RL:O/RC:C/E:U","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing 6.0.6, 6.0.6.1, 7.0, 7.0.1, and 7.0.2 does not sufficiently monitor or control transmitted network traffic volume, so that an actor can cause the software to transmit more traffic than should be allowed for that actor.
