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-2021-29298 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2021-29298/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29298/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-29298","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29298/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-29298","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8j4f-3jx5-662c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Industrial Automation Software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service and application crash in Emerson GE Automation Proficy Machine Edition via crafted traffic from a Man-in-the-Middle attack.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"proficy_machine_edition","vendor":"emerson"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Improper Input Validation in Emerson GE Automation Proficy Machine Edition v8.0 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service and application crash via crafted traffic from a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack to the component \"FrameworX.exe\"in the module \"fxVPStatcTcp.dll\".","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-29298","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Command Injection in @ronomon/opened","id":"CVE-2021-29300"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-29297"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-07-30","related":[{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-29297","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-30"}],"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service and application crash in Emerson GE Automation Proficy Machine Edition via crafted traffic from a Man-in-the-Middle attack.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29298/"}
