It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-23884 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee,LLC McAfee Content Security Reporter (CSR). 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-2021-23884/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23884/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-23884","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23884/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-23884","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-66g2-w3xc-xqx7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee CSR ePO extension","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An ePO administrator can view unencrypted passwords for McAfee Web Gateway components, exposing sensitive credentials to authorized users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"content_security_reporter","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-319","name":"Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information vulnerability in the ePO Extension of McAfee Content Security Reporter (CSR) prior to 2.8.0 allows an ePO administrator to view the unencrypted password of the McAfee Web Gateway (MWG) or the password of the McAfee Web Gateway Cloud Server (MWGCS) read only user used to retrieve log files for analysis in CSR.","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":"Clear text exposure of password in McAfee CSR ePO extension","id":"CVE-2021-23884","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation vulnerability in McAfee Web Gateway (MWG) UI","id":"CVE-2021-23885"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null Pointer Dereference vulnerability in McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS)","id":"CVE-2021-23883"},"products":["McAfee Content Security Reporter (CSR)"],"published":"2021-04-15","related":[],"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["McAfee,LLC"]},"summary":"An ePO administrator can view unencrypted passwords for McAfee Web Gateway components, exposing sensitive credentials to authorized users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23884/"}
