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-2021-40494 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- lxdui (PyPI): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- lxdui (PyPI): affected all versions up to 2.1.3; no fix listed\n- lxdui (PyPI): affected all versions up to 2.1.3; no fix listed\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-2021-40494/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40494/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40494","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40494/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40494","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p4xh-4869-8vrg","PYSEC-2021-342"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LXDUI web interface","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain admin access to the host system by exploiting a hardcoded JWT secret key in the LXDUI web interface.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"lxdui","vendor":"adaptivescale"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"A Hardcoded JWT Secret Key in metadata.py in AdaptiveScale LXDUI through 2.1.3 allows attackers to gain admin access to the host system.","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":false,"headline":"AdaptiveScale LXDUI Hardcoded JWT Secret Key","id":"CVE-2021-40494","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2021"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and ABAP Platform","id":"CVE-2021-40495"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"lxdui","purl":"pkg:pypi/lxdui","source":"PYSEC-2021-342"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["2.1.3"],"package":"lxdui","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-p4xh-4869-8vrg"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["2.1.3"],"package":"lxdui","purl":"pkg:pypi/lxdui","source":"GHSA-p4xh-4869-8vrg"}],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40493"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-09-03","related":[],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain admin access to the host system by exploiting a hardcoded JWT secret key in the LXDUI web interface.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40494/"}
