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-2021-20474 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Guardium Data Encryption. 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-2021-20474/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20474/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-20474","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20474/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-20474","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jr6g-mp22-2pf7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Guardium Data Encryption","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can access sensitive functionality and consume resources in IBM Guardium Data Encryption due to missing authentication checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"guardium_data_encryption","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AC:L/S:U/A:N/AV:N/PR:N/I:L/UI:N/C:L/RL:O/E:U/RC:C","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"IBM Guardium Data Encryption (GDE) 3.0.0.2 and 4.0.0.4 does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.","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":"Missing authorization in Guardium Data Encryption","id":"CVE-2021-20474","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Planning Analytics","id":"CVE-2021-20477"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Sterling File Gateway","id":"CVE-2021-20473"},"products":["Guardium Data Encryption"],"published":"2021-07-07","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in Security Guardium Data Encryption","id":"CVE-2019-4713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-26"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Weak cryptography in Security Guardium Data Encryption","id":"CVE-2019-4698","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-26"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Security Guardium Data Encryption","id":"CVE-2019-4694","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-26"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Auth bypass in Guardium Data Encryption","id":"CVE-2021-20378","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-07"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Other in Security Guardium Data Encryption","id":"CVE-2021-39022","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-10"},{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Security Guardium Data Encryption","id":"CVE-2019-4693","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-26"}],"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can access sensitive functionality and consume resources in IBM Guardium Data Encryption due to missing authentication checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20474/"}
