An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-7421 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-2017-7421/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7421/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7421","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7421/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7421","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jmxj-p595-5mfj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Enterprise Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can exploit XSS vulnerabilities in the web UI to bypass security features in Micro Focus Enterprise Server.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"directory_server","vendor":"microfocus"},{"product":"enterprise_developer","vendor":"microfocus"},{"product":"enterprise_server","vendor":"microfocus"},{"product":"enterprise_server_monitor_and_control","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Reflected and stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS, CWE-79) vulnerabilities in Directory Server (aka Enterprise Server Administration web UI) and 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 allow remote authenticated attackers to bypass protection mechanisms (CWE-693) and other security features.","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":"Cross-site scripting in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-7421","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-7422"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-7420"},"products":["Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server"],"published":"2017-08-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-5187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-21"}],"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 authenticated attackers can exploit XSS vulnerabilities in the web UI to bypass security features in Micro Focus Enterprise Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7421/"}
