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-2021-40492 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2021-40492/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40492/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40492","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40492/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40492","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qxgj-gjcq-4732"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Gibbon school management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in Gibbon allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript via crafted parameters, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"gibbon","vendor":"gibbonedu"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A reflected XSS vulnerability exists in multiple pages in version 22 of the Gibbon application that allows for arbitrary execution of JavaScript (gibbonCourseClassID, gibbonPersonID, subpage, currentDate, or allStudents to index.php).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2021-09-02","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2021-09-02T15:33:12Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/5qu1n7/CVE-2021-40492","stars":1,"title":"CVE-2021-40492 Gibbon version 22 Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS)"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40492","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40493"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Server-side request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40491"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-09-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-24724","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-45878","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-34598","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-29"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-24725","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-27305","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-25"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-45880","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-34831","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-10"}],"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":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in Gibbon allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript via crafted parameters, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40492/"}
