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-2021-36809 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sophos SSL VPN client. 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-2021-36809/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36809/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-36809","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36809/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-36809","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c7p5-h3xc-723m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SSL VPN client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with administrator privileges can overwrite arbitrary system files via VPN client logs, causing denial of service and data loss.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Sophos","cpe":[{"product":"ssl_vpn_client","vendor":"sophos"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"A local attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the system with VPN client logs using administrator privileges, potentially resulting in a denial of service and data loss, in all versions of Sophos SSL VPN client.","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":"Path traversal in SSL VPN client","id":"CVE-2021-36809","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2021-36810"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"A local attacker could bypass the app password using a race condition in Sophos Secure Workspace for Android before version 9.7.3115.","id":"CVE-2021-36808"},"products":["SSL VPN client"],"published":"2022-03-07","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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["Sophos"]},"summary":"A local attacker with administrator privileges can overwrite arbitrary system files via VPN client logs, causing denial of service and data loss.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36809/"}
