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-2025-8616 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: OpenText Advanced Authentication. 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-2025-8616/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-8616/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-8616","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-8616/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-8616","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6qcx-qhc9-rhcr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenText Advanced Authentication","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in OpenText Advanced Authentication by using malicious browser plugins to replay recorded user authentication processes.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"OpenText","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-294","name":"Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay"}],"description":"A weakness identified in OpenText Advanced Authentication where a Malicious browser plugin can record and replay the user authentication process to bypass Authentication.
