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-2021-27779 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL VersionVault Express. 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-2021-27779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-27779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27779/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-27779","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xwpv-wxrh-mcxf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Version control server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can access sensitive information to impersonate the server or eavesdrop on communications in HCL VersionVault Express.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"versionvault_express","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-311","name":"Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data"}],"description":"VersionVault Express exposes sensitive information that an attacker can use to impersonate the server or eavesdrop on communications with the server.","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":"A Security Misconfiguration vulnerability affects HCL VersionVault Express","id":"CVE-2021-27779","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL BigFix Mobile / Modern Client Management is vulnerable to unauthenticated XML interaction","id":"CVE-2021-27780"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in HCL Traveler","id":"CVE-2021-27778"},"products":["HCL VersionVault Express"],"published":"2022-05-25","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Overload/denial of service affects HCL VersionVault Express","id":"CVE-2022-27563","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-30"},{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"An insufficiently protected credential vulnerability affects HCL VersionVault Express","id":"CVE-2022-27560","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-30"}],"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Attackers can access sensitive information to impersonate the server or eavesdrop on communications in HCL VersionVault Express.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27779/"}
