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-2021-38555 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.any23:apache-any23 (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.5\n- org.apache.any23:apache-any23 (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.5\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-2021-38555/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38555/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-38555","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38555/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-38555","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-838r-hvwh-24h8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Any23 library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit XXE in Apache Any23 to read server files and access internal systems via crafted XML input.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"any23","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"An XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability was discovered in the Any23 StreamUtils.java file and is known to affect Any23 versions \u003c 2.5.
