Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-1259 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco SD-WAN vManage. 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-2021-1259/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1259/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1259","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1259/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1259","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qc69-r7wf-6p6c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SD-WAN management software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit path traversal in Cisco SD-WAN vManage to write arbitrary files on the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"sd-wan_vmanage","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct path traversal attacks and obtain write access to sensitive files on an affected system.
