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-2021-38121 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-38121 is a high-severity vulnerability in OpenText NetIQ Advance Authentication, published on 28 Aug 2024. 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-2021-38121 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: OpenText NetIQ Advance Authentication. 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-2021-38121/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38121/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-38121","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38121/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-38121","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x9wr-745j-rm5j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NetIQ Advance Authentication","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit weak TLS protocols in NetIQ Advance Authentication client-server communications to bypass security controls.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"OpenText","cpe":[{"product":"netiq_advanced_authentication","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-326","name":"Inadequate Encryption Strength"}],"description":"Insufficient or weak TLS protocol version identified in Advance authentication client server communication when specific service is accessed between devices.  This issue affects NetIQ Advance Authentication versions before 6.3.5.1","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":"Weak communication protocol identified in Advance Authentication client application","id":"CVE-2021-38121","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-38122"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Remote Code Execution using Bash command Injection in backup scheduling functionality in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-38120"},"products":["NetIQ Advance Authentication"],"published":"2024-08-28","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in NetIQ Advanced Authentication","id":"CVE-2023-24468","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-15"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Improper account management vulnerability in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Handling of sensitive data in process memory in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22509","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Sensitive Data Exposure leaks potential information in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22529","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Auth bypass in NetIQ Advanced Authentication","id":"CVE-2022-38753","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-28"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-38122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-28","vendors":["OpenText"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit weak TLS protocols in NetIQ Advance Authentication client-server communications to bypass security controls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38121/"}
