It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-3440 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-3440 is a high-severity vulnerability in HP Print and Scan Doctor, an application within the HP Smart App for Windows, published on 1 Nov 2021. 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-2021-3440 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HP Print and Scan Doctor, an application within the HP Smart App for Windows. 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-2021-3440/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3440/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-3440","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3440/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-3440","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w8x8-mwpx-xxw6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HP Smart App","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit HP Print and Scan Doctor to elevate privileges on Windows systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hp","cpe":[{"product":"hp_smart","vendor":"hp"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"HP Print and Scan Doctor, an application within the HP Smart App for Windows, is potentially vulnerable to local elevation of privilege.","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":"Privilege escalation in HP Print and Scan Doctor, an application within the HP Smart App for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-3440","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in HP OfficeJet 7110 Wide Format ePrinter","id":"CVE-2021-3441"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in HP PC BIOS","id":"CVE-2021-3439"},"products":["HP Print and Scan Doctor, an application within the HP Smart App for Windows"],"published":"2021-11-01","related":[],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit HP Print and Scan Doctor to elevate privileges on Windows systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3440/"}
