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-2021-22497 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Micro Focus Advanced Authentication. 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-2021-22497/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22497/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-22497","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22497/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-22497","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-423x-7gwr-q727"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Advanced Authentication","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication due to improper session management in Micro Focus Advanced Authentication, potentially taking over accounts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"netiq_advanced_authentication","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":3.8,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Advanced Authentication versions prior to 6.3 SP4 have a potential broken authentication due to improper session management issue.","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":"Advanced Authentication Improper Session Management","id":"CVE-2021-22497","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in Application Lifecycle Management ( Previously known as Quality Center ).","id":"CVE-2021-22498"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Access Manager","id":"CVE-2021-22496"},"products":["Advanced Authentication"],"published":"2021-04-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in NetIQ Advanced Authentication","id":"CVE-2023-24468","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-15"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Weak communication protocol identified in Advance Authentication client application","id":"CVE-2021-38121","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Improper account management vulnerability in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Handling of sensitive data in process memory in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22509","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Sensitive Data Exposure leaks potential information in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22529","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Auth bypass in NetIQ Advanced Authentication","id":"CVE-2022-38753","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-28"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-38122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"}],"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":["Micro Focus"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication due to improper session management in Micro Focus Advanced Authentication, potentially taking over accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22497/"}
