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-2021-41598 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Github Enterprise Server. 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-2021-41598/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-41598/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-41598","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-41598/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-41598","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q5hg-99pq-rc8v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GitHub Enterprise Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"UI misrepresentation in GitHub Enterprise Server allows attackers to obtain more user permissions than displayed during app authorization, leading to unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_P","cpe":[{"product":"enterprise_server","vendor":"github"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-451","name":"User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information"}],"description":"A UI misrepresentation vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed more permissions to be granted during a GitHub App's user-authorization web flow than was displayed to the user during approval. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to create a GitHub App on the instance and have a user authorize the application through the web authentication flow. All permissions being granted would properly be shown during the first authorization, but if the user later updated the set of repositories the app was installed on after the GitHub App had configured additional user-level permissions, those additional permissions would not be displayed, leading to more permissions being granted than the user potentially intended. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.3 and was fixed in versions 3.2.5, 3.1.13, 3.0.21. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.","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":"UI misrepresentation of granted permissions in GitHub Enterprise Server leading to unauthorized access to user","id":"CVE-2021-41598","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"github:enterprise_server","products":["github:enterprise_server"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Improper control flow in GitHub Enterprise Server hosted Pages leads to remote code execution","id":"CVE-2021-41599"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-41597"},"products":["GitHub Enterprise Server"],"published":"2022-01-25","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2024-4985","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in GitHub Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2022-23739","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory in GitHub Enterprise Server leading to RCE","id":"CVE-2022-46255","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper access control in GitHub Enterprise Server allows self-hosted runners to execute outside their control group","id":"CVE-2021-22869","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-24"},{"cvss_score":9.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2024-9487","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-10"},{"cvss_score":9.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in GitHub Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2024-6800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"GitHub Enterprise Server notebook viewer vulnerable to Server-side request forgery","id":"CVE-2026-77987","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-22"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["GitHub"]},"summary":"UI misrepresentation in GitHub Enterprise Server allows attackers to obtain more user permissions than displayed during app authorization, leading to unauthorized access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-41598/"}
