An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-7420 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7420/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7420/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7420","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7420/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7420","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mh7j-5vww-cqrw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Enterprise Server Monitor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication to view and alter configuration information and the state of the running product.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"enterprise_developer","vendor":"microfocus"},{"product":"enterprise_server","vendor":"microfocus"},{"product":"enterprise_server_monitor_and_control","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"An Authentication Bypass (CWE-287) vulnerability in ESMAC (aka Enterprise Server Monitor and Control) in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer and Enterprise Server 2.3 and earlier, 2.3 Update 1 before Hotfix 8, and 2.3 Update 2 before Hotfix 9 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to view and alter configuration information and alter the state of the running product (CWE-275).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-7420","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-7421"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"NetIQ Access Manager OAuth Consent screen XSS attack","id":"CVE-2017-7419"},"products":["Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server"],"published":"2017-08-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Enterprise developer and server.","id":"CVE-2020-9523","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-7423","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-21"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Null dereference in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2018-12469","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-12"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Path traversal in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-7424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-21"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer and Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2019-11651","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-02"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Enterprise Server and Enterprise developer.","id":"CVE-2020-9524","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Micro Focus"]},"summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication to view and alter configuration information and the state of the running product.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7420/"}
