An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-22524 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Micro Focus NetIQ Access 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-2021-22524/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22524/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-22524","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22524/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-22524","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c2qg-83f7-xwcm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NetIQ Access Manager","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An injection attack in NetIQ Access Manager allows attackers to cause a denial of service, requiring an upgrade to secure the identity management server.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"access_manager","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-91","name":"XML Injection"}],"description":"Injection attack caused the denial of service vulnerability in NetIQ Access Manager prior to 5.0.1 and 4.5.4","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":"Denial of service vulnerability in NetIQ Access Manager versions prior to version 4.5.4 and 5.0.1","id":"CVE-2021-22524","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"This release addresses a potential information leakage vulnerability in NetIQ Access Manager versions prior to 5.0.1","id":"CVE-2021-22525"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in Verastream Host Integrator.","id":"CVE-2021-22523"},"products":["NetIQ Access Manager"],"published":"2021-09-13","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Micro Focus Access Manager Information Leakage","id":"CVE-2021-22506","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-26"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in OpenText Access Manager","id":"CVE-2026-11878","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Information leakage vulnerability in NetIQ Access Manager versions prior to version 4.5.4 and 5.0.1","id":"CVE-2021-22528","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in Access Manager","id":"CVE-2021-22496","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-25"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-5217","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-23"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Missing Authorization Vulnerability in OpenText Access Manager","id":"CVE-2026-11877","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in NetIQ Access Manager","id":"CVE-2021-22531","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-12"}],"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["Micro Focus"]},"summary":"An injection attack in NetIQ Access Manager allows attackers to cause a denial of service, requiring an upgrade to secure the identity management server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22524/"}
