An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-20439 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Security Verify Access. 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-2021-20439/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20439/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-20439","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20439/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-20439","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wm4f-m9qr-q5j6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Security Access Manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthorized users can read plain text credentials stored by IBM Security Access Manager, leading to potential account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"security_access_manager","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"security_verify_access","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/PR:N/AC:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"IBM Security Access Manager 9.0 and IBM Security Verify Access Docker 10.0.0 stores user credentials in plain clear text which can be read by an unauthorized user.","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":"Hardcoded credentials in Security Access Manager","id":"CVE-2021-20439","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:security_verify_access","products":["ibm:security_verify_access"],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Business logic in API Connect","id":"CVE-2021-20440"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Security Verify Bridge","id":"CVE-2021-20435"},"products":["Security Access Manager","Security Verify Access Docker"],"published":"2021-07-15","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in Security Access Manager Appliance","id":"CVE-2018-1722","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-24"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3028","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in Security Access Manager Appliance","id":"CVE-2018-1850","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-22"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3025","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"IBM Security Access Manager Docker privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2023-30997","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"IBM Security Access Manager Docker privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2023-30998","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-27"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Information disclosure in Security Access Manager","id":"CVE-2019-4145","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-25"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Unauthorized users can read plain text credentials stored by IBM Security Access Manager, leading to potential account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20439/"}
