It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-40498 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SAP SuccessFactors Mobile Application (for Android devices). 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-2021-40498/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40498/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40498","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40498/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40498","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jxxf-6872-8935"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP SuccessFactors Mobile","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service or facilitate phishing by exploiting Android implementation methods in the SAP SuccessFactors mobile app.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sap","cpe":[{"product":"successfactors_mobile","vendor":"sap"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in SAP SuccessFactors Mobile Application for Android - versions older than 2108, which allows an attacker to prevent legitimate users from accessing a service, either by crashing or flooding the service, which can lead to denial of service. The vulnerability is related to Android implementation methods that are widely used across Android mobile applications, and such methods are embedded into the SAP SuccessFactors mobile application. These Android methods begin executing once the user accesses their profile on the mobile application. While executing, it can also pick up the activities from other Android applications that are running in the background of the users device and are using the same types of methods in the application. Such vulnerability can also lead to phishing attacks that can be used for staging other types of attacks.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in SAP SuccessFactors Mobile Application (for Android devices)","id":"CVE-2021-40498","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP (SAP Cloud Print Manager and SAPSprint)","id":"CVE-2021-40499"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, (edition for OLAP)","id":"CVE-2021-40497"},"products":["SAP SuccessFactors Mobile Application (for Android devices)"],"published":"2021-10-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Privilege escalation vulnerability in SAP SuccessFactors attachment API for Mobile Application(Android \u0026 iOS)","id":"CVE-2022-35291","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-27"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["SAP SE"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service or facilitate phishing by exploiting Android implementation methods in the SAP SuccessFactors mobile app.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40498/"}
