CVE-2016-0896
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.3)—
Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) Elastic Runtime before 1.6.34 and 1.7.x before 1.7.12 places 169.254.0.0/16 in the all_open Application Security Group, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended network-connectivity restrictions by leveraging access to the 169.254.169.254 address.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
- Base score: 7.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.00%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 62
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
