CVE-2016-7836 is a remote code execution vulnerability in SKYSEA Client View version 11.221.03 and earlier. The flaw is in authentication processing on the TCP connection used with the management console program. Improper handling of authentication on this management channel allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to interact with the service in a way that results in arbitrary code execution on the target system. The issue affects legacy deployments of this Japan-focused IT asset management product and has been observed in real-world exploitation, including by the threat actor Tick/BRONZE BUTLER.
