An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-40859 exists.\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-2021-40859/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40859/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40859","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40859/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40859","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-69pv-7jmq-p3xp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VoIP PBX system","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Backdoors in Auerswald COMpact devices allow attackers with web management access to gain full administrative control.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"compact_5500r_firmware","vendor":"auerswald"}],"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":[],"description":"Backdoors were discovered in Auerswald COMpact 5500R 7.8A and 8.0B devices, that allow attackers with access to the web based management application full administrative access to the device.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2021-12-06","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":5,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2021-12-28T06:05:42Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/419066074/CVE-2021-40859","stars":5,"title":"Auerswald COMpact 8.0B Backdoors exploit"},{"date":"2021-12-29T15:15:38Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/pussycat0x/CVE-2021-40859","stars":5,"title":"Auerswald VoIP System Secret Backdoors -PoC"},{"date":"2021-12-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"50569","stars":null,"title":"Auerswald COMpact 8.0B - Multiple Backdoors"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2021/CVE-2021-40859.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Auerswald COMpact 5500R 7.8A and 8.0B Devices Backdoor"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40859","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40860"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40858"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-12-07","related":[],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"},{"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":"Backdoors in Auerswald COMpact devices allow attackers with web management access to gain full administrative control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40859/"}
