Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-33538 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-33538 is a high-severity vulnerability in Weidmüller IE-WL(T)-BL-AP-CL-XX, published on 25 Jun 2021. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-33538 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Weidmüller IE-WL(T)-BL-AP-CL-XX. 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-2021-33538/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-33538/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-33538","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-33538/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-33538","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-37w8-w2xc-r5mg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Industrial WLAN device","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with low-privilege access can overwrite user passwords to gain remote shell access on Weidmüller Industrial WLAN devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CERTVDE","cpe":[{"product":"ie-wl-bl-ap-cl-eu_firmware","vendor":"weidmueller"},{"product":"ie-wl-bl-ap-cl-us_firmware","vendor":"weidmueller"},{"product":"ie-wl-vl-ap-br-cl-eu_firmware","vendor":"weidmueller"},{"product":"ie-wl-vl-ap-br-cl-us_firmware","vendor":"weidmueller"},{"product":"ie-wlt-bl-ap-cl-eu_firmware","vendor":"weidmueller"},{"product":"ie-wlt-bl-ap-cl-us_firmware","vendor":"weidmueller"},{"product":"ie-wlt-vl-ap-br-cl-eu_firmware","vendor":"weidmueller"},{"product":"ie-wlt-vl-ap-br-cl-us_firmware","vendor":"weidmueller"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"In Weidmueller Industrial WLAN devices in multiple versions an exploitable improper access control vulnerability exists in the iw_webs account settings functionality.
