Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-38373 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2021-38373/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38373/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-38373","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38373/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-38373","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-38373","GHSA-rc8g-gfxp-864v","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-38373"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"KDE KMail email client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"KDE KMail fails to enforce STARTTLS encryption unless authentication is enabled, allowing attackers to intercept cleartext emails.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kmail","vendor":"kde"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"},{"id":"CWE-319","name":"Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"In KDE KMail 19.12.3 (aka 5.13.3), the SMTP STARTTLS option is not honored (and cleartext messages are sent) unless \"Server requires authentication\" is checked.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38373","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38374"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38372"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-08-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7967","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9604","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11880","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-17"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7968","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-23"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8878","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-27"}],"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":"KDE KMail fails to enforce STARTTLS encryption unless authentication is enabled, allowing attackers to intercept cleartext emails.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38373/"}
