An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-20162 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Trendnet AC2600 TEW-827DRU. 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-2021-20162/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20162/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-20162","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20162/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-20162","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-974q-xv7x-qw7f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Trendnet wireless router","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers with local access can read plaintext admin credentials from configuration files, leading to unauthorized device access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"tew-827dru_firmware","vendor":"trendnet"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-312","name":"Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"Trendnet AC2600 TEW-827DRU version 2.08B01 stores credentials in plaintext.
