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-2021-31988 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AXIS OS. 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-2021-31988/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31988/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-31988","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31988/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-31988","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9whv-vchq-g94v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Axis network camera","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject CRLF characters into SMTP test emails to add arbitrary headers, potentially manipulating email content or metadata.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Axis","cpe":[{"product":"axis_os","vendor":"axis"},{"product":"axis_os_2016","vendor":"axis"},{"product":"axis_os_2018","vendor":"axis"},{"product":"axis_os_2020","vendor":"axis"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"},{"id":"CWE-1286","name":"Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input"}],"description":"A user controlled parameter related to SMTP test functionality is not correctly validated making it possible to add the Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) control characters and include arbitrary SMTP headers in the generated test email.","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":"Other in AXIS OS","id":"CVE-2021-31988","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in AXIS Device Manager","id":"CVE-2021-31989"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in AXIS OS","id":"CVE-2021-31987"},"products":["AXIS OS"],"published":"2021-10-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in AXIS OS","id":"CVE-2025-0324","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Remote code execution vulnerability during the installation of ACAP applications on the Axis device","id":"CVE-2023-21413","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in AXIS OS","id":"CVE-2025-0358","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in AXIS OS","id":"CVE-2025-0359","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in AXIS OS","id":"CVE-2025-0360","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-04"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Security feature bypass in AXIS OS","id":"CVE-2023-5553","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-21"}],"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":"2024-11-08","vendors":["Axis Communications AB"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject CRLF characters into SMTP test emails to add arbitrary headers, potentially manipulating email content or metadata.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31988/"}
