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-2017-9421 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Accellion Kiteworks. 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-2017-9421/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9421/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-9421","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9421/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-9421","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q566-6jpj-4x53"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Accellion kiteworks","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication to execute API calls on behalf of users via a crafted token request in Accellion kiteworks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kiteworks","vendor":"accellion"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Authentication Bypass vulnerability in Accellion kiteworks before 2017.01.00 allows remote attackers to execute certain API calls on behalf of a web user using a gathered token via a POST request to /oauth/token.","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 n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9421","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"accellion:kiteworks","products":["accellion:kiteworks"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9424"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9420"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-05-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Kiteworks Core Authentication Bypass in the Password Reset Workflow","id":"CVE-2026-102115","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-30"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2026-102149","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-30"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Kiteworks Core Administrative Account Takeover through Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2026-102147","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-30"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway server-side request forgery","id":"CVE-2026-102095","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-30"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway server-side request forgery","id":"CVE-2026-102102","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-30"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway server-side request forgery","id":"CVE-2026-102103","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-30"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway server-side request forgery","id":"CVE-2026-102104","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-30"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication to execute API calls on behalf of users via a crafted token request in Accellion kiteworks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9421/"}
