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-2021-27788 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software Verse. 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-2021-27788/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27788/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-27788","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27788/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-27788","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j5qm-g7fg-7pg9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL Verse","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute scripts in victims' browsers via crafted URLs, potentially stealing cookies or performing actions as the victim.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"verse","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"HCL Verse is susceptible to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.  By tricking a user into clicking a crafted URL, a remote unauthenticated attacker could execute script in a victim's web browser to perform operations as the victim and/or steal the victim's cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information.","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 Verse is susceptible to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27788","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Brocade Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2021-27789"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL OneTest Server is vulnerable to Cross Origin Resource Sharing: Arbitrary Origin Trusted","id":"CVE-2021-27786"},"products":["Verse"],"published":"2023-03-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"HCL Verse is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-37496","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-01"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"HCL Verse is susceptible to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-28013","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-26"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"An SSL certificate host verification vulnerability affects HCL Verse for Android","id":"CVE-2021-27768","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-12"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"HCL Verse for Android is susceptible to an APK signing key check vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-4099","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-01"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-27","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute scripts in victims' browsers via crafted URLs, potentially stealing cookies or performing actions as the victim.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27788/"}
