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-2021-1680 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Visual Studio. 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-2021-1680/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1680/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1680","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1680/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1680","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6428-3m47-f5w9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual Studio","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector to elevate privileges on systems running Microsoft Visual Studio.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"visual_studio","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visual_studio_2017","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visual_studio_2019","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2019","vendor":"microsoft"}],"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/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","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":"Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1680","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:visual_studio","products":["microsoft:visual_studio","microsoft:visual_studio_2017","microsoft:visual_studio_2019","microsoft:windows_10","microsoft:windows_server_2016","microsoft:windows_server_2019"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows WalletService Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1681"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Windows CryptoAPI Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1679"},"products":["Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 3","Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 version 15.9 (includes 15.0 - 15.8)","Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 version 16.0","Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4 (includes 16.0 - 16.3)","Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 version 16.7 (includes 16.0 – 16.6)","Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 version 16.8","Windows 10 Version 1507","Windows 10 Version 1607","Windows 10 Version 1803","Windows 10 Version 1809","Windows 10 Version 1909","Windows 10 Version 2004","Windows 10 Version 20H2","Windows Server 2016","Windows Server 2016 (Server Core installation)","Windows Server 2019","Windows Server 2019 (Server Core installation)","Windows Server version 2004","Windows Server version 20H2","Windows Server, version 1909 (Server Core installation)"],"published":"2021-01-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-49739","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-35777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-35825","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-35826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-35827","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-20656","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-28313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-13"}],"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":"2024-10-08","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector to elevate privileges on systems running Microsoft Visual Studio.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1680/"}
