Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-22501 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: OpenText™ Operations Bridge 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-2021-22501/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22501/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-22501","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22501/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-22501","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j3gf-gcj2-hmm5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Operations Bridge Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An XML External Entity vulnerability in OpenText Operations Bridge Manager allows attackers to access confidential information.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"OpenText","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/S:N/AU:Y/R:A/V:C/RE:M/U:Amber","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference vulnerability in OpenText™ Operations Bridge Manager allows Input Data Manipulation. \n\nThe vulnerability could be exploited to confidential information\n\nThis issue affects Operations Bridge Manager: 2017.05, 2017.11, 2018.05, 2018.11, 2019.05, 2019.11, 2020.05, 2020.10.","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":"XML external entity in Operations Bridge Manager","id":"CVE-2021-22501","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Micro Focus Operation Bridge Report (OBR) Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-22502"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Application Performance Management","id":"CVE-2021-22500"},"products":["Operations Bridge Manager"],"published":"2024-12-19","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-12-20","vendors":["OpenText™"]},"summary":"An XML External Entity vulnerability in OpenText Operations Bridge Manager allows attackers to access confidential information.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22501/"}
