Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-20445 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Maximo for Civil Infrastructure. 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-2021-20445/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20445/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-20445","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20445/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-20445","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3598-85vr-8f48"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Maximo","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can obtain sensitive authentication credentials due to insecure storage, potentially leading to unauthorized access in IBM Maximo for Civil Infrastructure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"maximo_for_civil_infrastructure","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/S:U/C:H/I:N/UI:N/A:N/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"IBM Maximo for Civil Infrastructure 7.6.2 could allow a user to obtain sensitive information due to insecure storeage of authentication credentials.
