It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2021-38645 in the wild since at least 3 Nov 2021.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Azure Automation State Configuration, DSC Extension. 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-2021-38645/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38645/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-38645","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38645/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-38645","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-727j-58h7-43f5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Azure Management Infrastructure","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can elevate privileges within Microsoft Open Management Infrastructure components used in Azure and System Center environments.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"azure_automation_state_configuration","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"azure_automation_update_management","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"azure_diagnostics_\\(lad\\)","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"azure_security_center","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"azure_sentinel","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"azure_stack_hub","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"container_monitoring_solution","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"log_analytics_agent","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"open_management_infrastructure","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"system_center_operations_manager","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Open Management Infrastructure Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Microsoft Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2021-38645","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2021-11-03","dueDate":"2021-11-17","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Open Management Infrastructure (OMI)","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) Privilege Escalation Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft Office Access Connectivity Engine Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-38646"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft MPEG-2 Video Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-38644"},"products":["Azure Automation State Configuration, DSC Extension","Azure Automation Update Management","Azure Diagnostics (LAD)","Azure Security Center","Azure Sentinel","Azure Stack Hub","Container Monitoring Solution","Log Analytics Agent","Open Management Infrastructure","System Center Operations Manager (SCOM)"],"published":"2021-09-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-38647","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2021-38648","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-15"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Microsoft Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2021-38649","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-29149","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-06-15"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can elevate privileges within Microsoft Open Management Infrastructure components used in Azure and System Center environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38645/"}
