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-2021-25267 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sophos Firewall. 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-2021-25267/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25267/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-25267","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25267/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-25267","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5fg7-mh37-fjrv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sophos Firewall","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Cross-site scripting in the Webadmin interface allows administrators to escalate privileges to super-admin on Sophos Firewall devices.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Sophos","cpe":[{"product":"firewall_firmware","vendor":"sophos"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Multiple XSS vulnerabilities in Webadmin allow for privilege escalation from admin to super-admin in Sophos Firewall older than version 19.0 GA.","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":"Cross-site scripting in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2021-25267","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2021-25268"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Intercept X for Mobile (Android)","id":"CVE-2021-25266"},"products":["Sophos Firewall"],"published":"2022-05-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2025-6704","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2025-7624","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2024-12727","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2024-12728","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2025-7382","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2024-12729","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Sophos Firewall","id":"CVE-2021-25268","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-05"}],"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":["Sophos"]},"summary":"Cross-site scripting in the Webadmin interface allows administrators to escalate privileges to super-admin on Sophos Firewall devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25267/"}
