CVE-2016-2397

32
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-2397 is a critical deserialization vulnerability affecting Dell SonicWALL GMS, Analyzer, and UMA EM5000 versions 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1 prior to Hotfix 168056. This flaw allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary Java code by sending specially crafted XML data to the cliserver implementation. With a CVSS score of 9.8, it presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit intelligence (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) or active exploitation (KEV) has been identified, and community discussion and media coverage are minimal, the high FAUCET Risk Score of 84/100 indicates its significant potential impact.
