It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-21522 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-21522 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 Firmware, published on 28 Sep 2021. 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-2021-21522 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 Firmware. 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-2021-21522/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21522/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-21522","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21522/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-21522","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pg87-v27x-wx62"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell BIOS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can reset the BIOS password via the Manageability Interface to access sensitive data on NVMe storage.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"latitude_5285_2-in-1_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_5289_2-in-1_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_5290_2-in-1_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_5310_2-in-1_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7210_2-in-1_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7212_rugged_extreme_tablet_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7280_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7285_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7290_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7310_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7370_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7380_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7389_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7390_2-in-1_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7390_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7410_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7420_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7480_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_7490_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_9410_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"latitude_9510_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"precision_3640_tower_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"precision_5510_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"precision_5520_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"precision_5530_2-in-1_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"xps_13_9360_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"xps_13_9370_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"xps_15_9575_2-in-1_firmware","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"Dell BIOS contains a Credentials Management issue.
