{"id":"CVE-2016-9682","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2016-9682","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T20:05:25.835Z","title":"The SonicWall Secure Remote Access server (version 8.1.0.2-14sv) is vulnerable to two Remote Command Injection vulnerabilities in its web administrative interface.","description":"The SonicWall Secure Remote Access server (version 8.1.0.2-14sv) is vulnerable to two Remote Command Injection vulnerabilities in its web administrative interface. These vulnerabilities occur in the diagnostics CGI (/cgi-bin/diagnostics) component responsible for emailing out information about the state of the system. The application doesn't properly escape the information passed in the 'tsrDeleteRestartedFile' or 'currentTSREmailTo' variables before making a call to system(), allowing for remote command injection. Exploitation of this vulnerability yields shell access to the remote machine under the nobody user account.","published":"2017-02-22T05:59:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T00:56:26.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-77"],"affected":["dell/sonicwall secure remote access server"],"epss":{"score":0.23296,"percentile":0.97765,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.18591,"percentile":0.97194},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.23296,"percentile":0.97675}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":false,"firstPublished":"2017-07-19","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":42342,"kind":"exploit","title":"Sonicwall Secure Remote Access 8.1.0.2-14sv - Command Injection","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/42342","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/cgi/webapps/42342.txt","file":"exploits/cgi/webapps/42342.txt","published":"2017-07-19","added":"2017-07-19","updated":"2017-07-19","author":"xort","type":"webapps","platform":"cgi","port":null,"verified":false,"codes":["CVE-2016-9682"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":null}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 23.3%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs.
