An attacker can bypass authentication, and OmniVista invokes methods (AddJobSet, AddJob, and ExecuteNow) that can be used to run arbitrary commands on the server, with the privilege of NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM on the server. NOTE: The discoverer states \"The vendor position is to refer to the technical guidelines of the product security deployment to mitigate this issue, which means applying proper firewall rules to prevent unauthorised clients to connect to the OmniVista server.\"","published":"2016-12-03T06:59:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T00:56:34.000Z","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-264","CWE-287"],"affected":["alcatel-lucent/omnivista 8770 network management system"],"epss":{"score":0.13356,"percentile":0.96394,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.09877,"percentile":0.95412},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.13356,"percentile":0.96237}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":true,"firstPublished":"2016-12-04","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":40862,"kind":"exploit","title":"Alcatel Lucent Omnivista 8770 - Remote Code Execution","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/40862","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/windows/remote/40862.py","file":"exploits/windows/remote/40862.py","published":"2016-12-04","added":"2016-12-04","updated":"2016-12-04","author":"malerisch","type":"remote","platform":"windows","port":null,"verified":true,"codes":["CVE-2016-9796"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":"http://blog.malerisch.net/2016/12/alcatel-omnivista-8770-unauth-rce-giop-corba.html"}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 13.4%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs.
