It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-22278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ABB PCM600. 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-2021-22278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-22278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22278/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-22278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m4rm-456c-72hq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PCM600 Engineering Tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass certificate validation in the Update Manager to install malicious software on systems running PCM600.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ABB","cpe":[{"product":"update_manager","vendor":"abb"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"A certificate validation vulnerability in PCM600 Update Manager allows attacker to get unwanted software packages to be installed on computer which has PCM600 installed.","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":"Certificate verification vulnerability in Update Manager of PCM600 Engineering Tool","id":"CVE-2021-22278","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"OmniCore RobotWare Missing Authentication Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-22279"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"AC 800M MMS - Denial of Service vulnerability in MMS communication","id":"CVE-2021-22277"},"products":["PCM600","PCM600 Update Manager"],"published":"2021-10-28","related":[],"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":["ABB","Hitachi Energy"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass certificate validation in the Update Manager to install malicious software on systems running PCM600.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22278/"}
