An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-20080 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zohocorp Manageengine Servicedesk Plus. 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-2021-20080/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20080/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-20080","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20080/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-20080","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xf4h-3x4p-9w5m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ITSM and Asset Management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can execute persistent cross-site scripting via crafted XML uploads in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus and AssetExplorer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"manageengine_servicedesk_plus","vendor":"zohocorp"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Insufficient output sanitization in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus before version 11200 and ManageEngine AssetExplorer before version 6800 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to conduct persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by uploading a crafted XML asset file.","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":"Cross-site scripting in ManageEngine AssetExplorer","id":"CVE-2021-20080","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"zohocorp:manageengine_servicedesk_plus","products":["zohocorp:manageengine_servicedesk_plus"],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus","id":"CVE-2021-20081"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Nessus","id":"CVE-2021-20079"},"products":["ManageEngine AssetExplorer","ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus"],"published":"2021-04-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-44077","kev_date_added":"2021-12-01","published":"2021-11-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2021-37415","kev_date_added":"2021-12-01","published":"2021-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus (SDP) File Upload","id":"CVE-2019-8394","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-02-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-44526","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-8395","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35682","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9362","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-25"}],"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can execute persistent cross-site scripting via crafted XML uploads in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus and AssetExplorer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20080/"}
