An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-3945 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- django-helpdesk (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.3.1\n- django-helpdesk (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.3.1\n- django-helpdesk (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.3.1\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-2021-3945/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3945/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-3945","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3945/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-3945","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vx6v-xg64-pmr8","PYSEC-2021-430"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Django helpdesk plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into django-helpdesk pages, potentially stealing user data or executing code in victim browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntrdev","cpe":[{"product":"django-helpdesk","vendor":"django-helpdesk_project"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"django-helpdesk is vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in django-helpdesk/django-helpdesk","id":"CVE-2021-3945","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in QEMU","id":"CVE-2021-3947"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"django-helpdesk","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-vx6v-xg64-pmr8"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"django-helpdesk","purl":"pkg:pypi/django-helpdesk","source":"GHSA-vx6v-xg64-pmr8"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"django-helpdesk","purl":"pkg:pypi/django-helpdesk","source":"PYSEC-2021-430"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in bookstackapp/bookstack","id":"CVE-2021-3944"},"products":["django-helpdesk/django-helpdesk"],"published":"2021-11-13","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in django-helpdesk/django-helpdesk","id":"CVE-2021-3994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in django-helpdesk/django-helpdesk","id":"CVE-2021-3950","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-19"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"django-helpdesk Allows Sensitive Data Exposure","id":"CVE-2018-25111","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-31"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["django-helpdesk"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into django-helpdesk pages, potentially stealing user data or executing code in victim browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3945/"}
