It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-1280 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco AMP for Endpoints. 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-2021-1280/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1280/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1280","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1280/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1280","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-674c-q4r5-6548"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco AMP for Endpoints","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via DLL hijacking in Cisco AMP for Endpoints and Immunet.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"advanced_malware_protection_for_endpoints","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"immunet","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the loading mechanism of specific DLLs of Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints for Windows and Immunet for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a DLL hijacking attack. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need valid credentials on the Windows system. This vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of directory search paths at run time. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by placing a malicious DLL file on the targeted system. This file will execute when the vulnerable application launches. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system with SYSTEM privileges.","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":"Cisco Advanced Malware Protection for Endpoints and Immunet for Windows DLL Hijacking Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1280","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN Software Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1281"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco SD-WAN Denial of Service Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2021-1279"},"products":["Cisco AMP for Endpoints"],"published":"2021-01-20","related":[{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Path traversal in Cisco AMP for Endpoints","id":"CVE-2021-1386","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-08"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Cisco Advanced Malware Protection for Endpoints Windows Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-1932","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-06"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Path traversal in Cisco Immunet Antimalware Installer","id":"CVE-2017-12312","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-16"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cisco AMP for Endpoints Mac Connector Software File Scan Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-3314","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-22"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco AMP for Endpoints Mac Connector unknown","id":"CVE-2018-0397","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-01"},{"cvss_score":5.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Cisco AMP for Endpoints","id":"CVE-2018-0237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-19"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-12","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Local authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via DLL hijacking in Cisco AMP for Endpoints and Immunet.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1280/"}
