Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-37173 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-37173 is a high-severity vulnerability in Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000, published on 14 Sep 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-2021-37173 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000. 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-2021-37173/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37173/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-37173","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37173/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-37173","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-59r2-367p-xv4j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated remote attacker can escalate privileges to root via insufficient file operation restrictions in the CLI of Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_mx5000_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx1400_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx1500_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx1501_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx1510_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx1511_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx1512_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx1524_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx1536_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"ruggedcom_rox_rx5000_firmware","vendor":"siemens"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","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":"A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 (All versions \u003c V2.14.1).
