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-2021-23278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Eaton Intelligent Power manager (IPM). 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-2021-23278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-23278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23278/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-23278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9wgr-5887-h4gv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Eaton IPM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can delete arbitrary files on the system via improper input validation in Eaton Intelligent Power Manager.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Eaton","cpe":[{"product":"intelligent_power_manager","vendor":"eaton"},{"product":"intelligent_power_manager_virtual_appliance","vendor":"eaton"},{"product":"intelligent_power_protector","vendor":"eaton"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) prior to 1.69 is vulnerable to authenticated arbitrary file delete vulnerability induced due to improper input validation at server/maps_srv.js with action removeBackground and server/node_upgrade_srv.js with action removeFirmware.
