It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-21507 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell VRTX Switch Modules. 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-2021-21507/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21507/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-21507","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21507/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-21507","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r2xr-pxxq-cxv4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell Networking Switch","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Weak password encryption in Dell Networking X-Series and VRTX Switch Modules allows remote attackers to disclose user credentials and potentially access the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"r1-2210_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"r1-2401_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x1008_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x1008p_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x1018_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x1018p_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x1026_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x1026p_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x1052_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x1052p_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"x4012_firmware","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-326","name":"Inadequate Encryption Strength"},{"id":"CWE-261","name":"Weak Encoding for Password"}],"description":"Dell EMC Networking X-Series firmware versions prior to 3.0.1.8 and Dell EMC PowerEdge VRTX Switch Module firmware versions prior to 2.0.0.82 contain a Weak Password Encryption Vulnerability.
