What it is: CVE-2021-26588 is a critical code injection vulnerability in HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 Storage; HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage; HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage; HPE Primera 600 Storage; HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000; HPE Alletra 9000; HPE 3PAR StoreServ 9000 Storage, published on 11 Oct 2021. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-26588 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 Storage; HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage; HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage; HPE Primera 600 Storage; HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000; HPE Alletra 9000; HPE 3PAR StoreServ 9000 Storage. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
