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-2021-38944 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Datapower Gateway. 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-2021-38944/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38944/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-38944","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38944/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-38944","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wcj9-hxh3-xw55"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM DataPower Gateway","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can inject HTTP headers to perform cross-site scripting, cache poisoning, or session hijacking on IBM DataPower Gateway.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"datapower_gateway","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/C:L/A:N/I:L/UI:N/PR:N/S:U/AC:H/E:U/RC:C/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"IBM DataPower Gateway 10.0.2.0 through 1.0.3.0, 10.0.1.0 through 10.0.1.5, and 2018.4.1.0 through 2018.4.1.18 is vulnerable to HTTP header injection, caused by improper validation of input by the HOST headers.
