An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-38971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Data Virtualization on Cloud Pak for Data. 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-2021-38971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-38971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38971/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-38971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j4x5-q399-5w69"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Data Virtualization","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authorized users can bypass data masking rules to access sensitive information in IBM Data Virtualization on Cloud Pak for Data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"data_virtualization_on_cloud_pak_for_data","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/S:U/I:N/UI:N/AC:L/PR:H/C:H/AV:N/A:N/RC:C/RL:O/E:U","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"IBM Data Virtualization on Cloud Pak for Data 1.3.0, 1.4.1, 1.5.0, 1.7.1 and 1.7.3 could allow an authorized user to bypass data masking rules and obtain sensitve information.
