An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-3849 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Lenovo Fan Power Controller2 (FPC2). 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-2021-3849/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3849/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-3849","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3849/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-3849","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vxqg-r9mf-h85v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Lenovo FPC2/SMM firmware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication in Lenovo FPC2 and SMM web interfaces to execute arbitrary commands on the devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"lenovo","cpe":[{"product":"nextscale_fan_power_controller_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"nextscale_n1200_enclosure_firmware","vendor":"lenovo"},{"product":"thinkagile_hx_enclosure_certified_node_firmware","vendor":"lenovo"},{"product":"thinkagile_vx_enclosure_firmware","vendor":"lenovo"},{"product":"thinksystem_d2_enclosure_firmware","vendor":"lenovo"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-288","name":"Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel"}],"description":"An authentication bypass vulnerability was discovered in the web interface of the Lenovo Fan Power Controller2 (FPC2) and Lenovo System Management Module (SMM) firmware that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute commands on the SMM and FPC2.
