It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-29859 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation. 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-2021-29859/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29859/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-29859","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29859/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-29859","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q6gh-mcpp-qm8j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Cloud Pak Automation","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A user with physical access can bypass logout validation to perform unauthorized actions or access sensitive information in IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_pak_for_business_automation","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/S:U/A:N/AV:P/PR:N/AC:L/C:L/I:L/UI:N/RC:C/E:U/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"IBM ICP4A - User Management System Component (IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation V21.0.3 through V21.0.3-IF008, V21.0.2 through V21.0.2-IF009, and V21.0.1 through V21.0.1-IF007) could allow a user with physical access to the system to perform unauthorized actions or obtain sensitive information due to insufficient validation and recvocation another user logouting out.
