An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-27762 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-2021-27762/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27762/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-27762","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27762/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-27762","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pq7j-j9xf-h9g6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL BigFix Platform","requires_auth":"none","summary":"HCL BigFix Platform lacks proper security HTTP headers, potentially allowing attackers to bypass browser security protections.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"bigfix_platform","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Misconfigured security-related HTTP headers: Several security-related headers were missing or mis-configured on the web responses","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 misconfigured security-related HTTP headers","id":"CVE-2021-27762","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL BigFix WebUI Cookie missing attributes","id":"CVE-2021-27764"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by weak web transport security","id":"CVE-2021-27761"},"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"HCL BigFix Platform lacks proper security HTTP headers, potentially allowing attackers to bypass browser security protections.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27762/"}
