Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-40358 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-40358 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2, published on 9 Nov 2021. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-40358 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2. 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-2021-40358/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40358/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40358","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40358/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40358","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rcjv-2hj5-3cmq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Siemens SCADA software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit path traversal in the web server to read, write, or delete critical files outside the restricted directory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[{"product":"simatic_pcs_7","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simatic_wincc","vendor":"siemens"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0 (All versions \u003c V9.0 SP3 UC04), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.1 (All versions \u003c V9.1 SP1), SIMATIC WinCC V15 and earlier (All versions \u003c V15 SP1 Update 7), SIMATIC WinCC V16 (All versions \u003c V16 Update 5), SIMATIC WinCC V17 (All versions \u003c V17 Update 2), SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 (All versions \u003c V7.4 SP1 Update 19), SIMATIC WinCC V7.5 (All versions \u003c V7.5 SP2 Update 5).
