An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-23418 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- glances (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.1\n- glances (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.1\n- Glances (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.1\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-2021-23418/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23418/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-23418","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23418/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-23418","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-23418","GHSA-r2mj-8wgq-73m6","PYSEC-2021-115","SNYK-PYTHON-GLANCES-1311807","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-23418","USN-5187-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python monitoring library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exploit XML External Entity injection in Glances to read sensitive data or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"snyk","cpe":[{"product":"glances","vendor":"glances_project"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"The package glances before 3.2.1 are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) Injection via the use of Fault to parse untrusted XML data, which is known to be vulnerable to XML attacks.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"XML External Entity (XXE) Injection","id":"CVE-2021-23418","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2021"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Prototype Pollution","id":"CVE-2021-23419"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"Glances","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-r2mj-8wgq-73m6"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"glances","purl":"pkg:pypi/glances","source":"GHSA-r2mj-8wgq-73m6"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"glances","purl":"pkg:pypi/glances","source":"PYSEC-2021-115"}],"prev":{"headline":"Prototype Pollution","id":"CVE-2021-23417"},"products":["Glances"],"published":"2021-07-29","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit XML External Entity injection in Glances to read sensitive data or cause denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23418/"}
