Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-27068 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-27068 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, published on 11 May 2021. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-27068 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2019. 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-2021-27068/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27068/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-27068","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27068/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-27068","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f64v-hfhw-9m4w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual Studio IDE","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted file in Visual Studio.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"visual_studio_2019","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","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":"Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27068","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:visual_studio_2019","products":["microsoft:visual_studio_2019"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows 10 Update Assistant Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27070"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Azure DevOps Server and Team Foundation Server Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27067"},"products":["Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4 (includes 16.0 - 16.3)","Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 version 16.7 (includes 16.0 – 16.6)","Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9 (includes 16.0 - 16.8)"],"published":"2021-05-11","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-32702","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-28262","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-11"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-25003","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-11"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Denial of service in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019","id":"CVE-2020-0789","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-12"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-36759","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-12"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Visual Studio Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-36042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-19","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted file in Visual Studio.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27068/"}
