Office Server Document Converter, published on 1 Nov 2021. 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-2021-20838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Antenna House, Inc. Office Server Document Converter. 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-2021-20838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-20838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20838/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-20838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q423-xqrx-xqpf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Office Document Converter","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can cause denial of service via XML External Entity attacks in Office Server Document Converter.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"office_server_document_converter","vendor":"antennahouse"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"Office Server Document Converter V7.2MR4 and earlier and V7.1MR7 and earlier allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to conduct an XML External Entity (XXE) attack to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition by processing a specially crafted XML document.","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":"XML external entity in Office Server Document Converter","id":"CVE-2021-20838","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in Office Server Document Converter","id":"CVE-2021-20839"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in Movable Type","id":"CVE-2021-20837"},"products":["Office Server Document Converter"],"published":"2021-11-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Antenna House","id":"CVE-2018-3929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Antenna House","id":"CVE-2018-3930","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Antenna House","id":"CVE-2018-3931","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Antenna House","id":"CVE-2018-3932","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Antenna House","id":"CVE-2018-3933","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Antenna House","id":"CVE-2018-3936","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-11"}],"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":["Antenna House, Inc."]},"summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can cause denial of service via XML External Entity attacks in Office Server Document Converter.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20838/"}
