It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-38086 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-38086 is a high-severity vulnerability in Acronis Cyber Protect, published on 12 Aug 2021. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-38086 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Acronis Cyber Protect. 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-2021-38086/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38086/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-38086","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38086/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-38086","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4vx8-fj63-v6wv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Acronis Cyber Protect","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via DLL hijacking in Acronis Cyber Protect and Agent for Windows.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cyber_protect","vendor":"acronis"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Acronis Cyber Protect 15 for Windows prior to build 27009 and Acronis Agent for Windows prior to build 26226 allowed local privilege escalation via DLL hijacking.","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 n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38086","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"acronis:cyber_protect","products":["acronis:cyber_protect"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38087"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38085"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-08-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in Acronis Cyber Protect 15","id":"CVE-2025-30411","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in Acronis Cyber Protect 15","id":"CVE-2025-30412","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Missing authorization in Acronis Cyber Protect 15","id":"CVE-2025-30416","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-20"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in Acronis Cyber Protect 17","id":"CVE-2026-28710","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-05"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"DLL hijacking could lead to local privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2021-44198","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-12"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via DLL hijacking in Acronis Cyber Protect and Agent for Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38086/"}
