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-2021-1447 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA). 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-2021-1447/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1447/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1447","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1447/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1447","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mvqh-q454-4f7x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco Content Security Appliance","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker with Administrator credentials can exploit a password generation flaw to escalate privileges to root and execute arbitrary commands.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"content_security_management_appliance","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the user account management system of Cisco AsyncOS for Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA) could allow an authenticated, local attacker to elevate their privileges to root. This vulnerability is due to a procedural flaw in the password generation algorithm. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enabling specific Administrator-only features and connecting to the appliance through the CLI with elevated privileges. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root and access the underlying operating system. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid Administrator credentials.","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 Content Security Management Appliance Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1447","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1448"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software DNS NAT Protocol Application Layer Gateway Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1446"},"products":["Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA)"],"published":"2021-05-06","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2119","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6321","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-11-06"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-5537","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-10-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2183","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-01"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3395","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-07-02"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in Cisco Email Security Appliance and Cisco Content Security Management Appliance","id":"CVE-2018-0140","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-02-08"}],"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":"2024-11-08","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"An authenticated local attacker with Administrator credentials can exploit a password generation flaw to escalate privileges to root and execute arbitrary commands.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1447/"}
