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-2021-21545 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell Peripheral Manager. 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-2021-21545/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21545/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-21545","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21545/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-21545","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-95j5-5wc5-5hvq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell Peripheral Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a DLL hijacking vulnerability in Dell Peripheral Manager to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"peripheral_manager","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Dell Peripheral Manager 1.3.1 or greater contains remediation for a local privilege escalation vulnerability that could be potentially exploited to gain arbitrary code execution on the system with privileges of the system user.","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":"Privilege escalation in Dell Peripheral Manager","id":"CVE-2021-21545","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in NetWorker","id":"CVE-2021-21546"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC)","id":"CVE-2021-21544"},"products":["Dell Peripheral Manager"],"published":"2021-04-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Dell Peripheral Manager","id":"CVE-2024-37127","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Path traversal in Dell Peripheral Manager","id":"CVE-2024-32857","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Path traversal in Dell Peripheral Manager","id":"CVE-2024-37142","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Other in Peripheral Manager","id":"CVE-2024-22447","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-16"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Path traversal in Peripheral Manager","id":"CVE-2024-22451","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-16"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Dell"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit a DLL hijacking vulnerability in Dell Peripheral Manager to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21545/"}
