An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-27761 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software BigFix Platform. 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-2021-27761/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27761/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-27761","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27761/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-27761","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3x7r-h96m-8m94"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL BigFix Platform","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Weak TLS configuration in HCL BigFix Platform allows attackers to decrypt transmitted data, compromising confidentiality.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"bigfix_platform","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-326","name":"Inadequate Encryption Strength"}],"description":"Weak web transport security (Weak TLS): An attacker may be able to decrypt the data using attacks","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":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by weak web transport security","id":"CVE-2021-27761","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by misconfigured security-related HTTP headers","id":"CVE-2021-27762"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL Notes 11.0 - 11.0.1 FP4 Sametime Embedded chat clients are vulnerable to group chats loading script on restart","id":"CVE-2021-27760"},"products":["BigFix Platform"],"published":"2022-05-06","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by insecure permissions on private cryptographic keys","id":"CVE-2026-21765","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-01"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by Unathenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-37519","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-21"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by Unathenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-37520","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-21"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in HCL BigFix Inventory","id":"CVE-2020-14254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-16"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by insufficient warnings","id":"CVE-2022-42453","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-17"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is susceptible to insufficiently protected credentials","id":"CVE-2024-23583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-17"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform Server API is affected by Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27765","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-06"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Weak TLS configuration in HCL BigFix Platform allows attackers to decrypt transmitted data, compromising confidentiality.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27761/"}
