Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-22517 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Data Protector. 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-2021-22517/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22517/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-22517","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22517/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-22517","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jr8w-44hp-m299"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Data Protector backup software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A privileged user can exploit a feature in Micro Focus Data Protector to gain unauthorized access to data, requiring a patch to mitigate the risk.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"data_protector","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"A potential unauthorized privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in Micro Focus Data Protector.
