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-2021-29665 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Security Verify Access. 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-2021-29665/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29665/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-29665","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29665/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-29665","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vcrv-mp64-mrgr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Security Verify Access","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can exploit a stack buffer overflow in IBM Security Verify Access to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"security_verify_access","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/A:H/I:H/UI:N/AV:N/PR:N/C:H/S:C/AC:H/RC:C/E:U/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"IBM Security Verify Access 20.07 is vulnerable to a stack based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking which could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.","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":"Memory corruption in Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2021-29665","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:security_verify_access","products":["ibm:security_verify_access"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Spectrum Scale","id":"CVE-2021-29666"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-29663"},"products":["Security Verify Access"],"published":"2021-05-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2026-78401","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2026-78406","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM Security Verify Access Appliance command execution","id":"CVE-2024-49803","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-39070","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-02"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"IBM Security Verify Access Appliance hard coded credentials","id":"CVE-2024-49805","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-29"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"IBM Security Verify Access Appliance hard coded credentials","id":"CVE-2024-49806","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-29"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Security Vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2026-1346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-08"}],"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":["IBM"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit a stack buffer overflow in IBM Security Verify Access to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29665/"}
