Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-3049 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR. 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-2021-3049/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3049/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-3049","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3049/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-3049","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j74x-6rh4-f7q2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SOAR platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can download files from incident investigations they are not part of, exposing sensitive data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"palo_alto","cpe":[{"product":"cortex_xsoar","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":2.6,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-285","name":"Improper Authorization"}],"description":"An improper authorization vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR server enables an authenticated network-based attacker with investigation read permissions to download files from incident investigations of which they are aware but are not a part of.
