Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-42098 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager. 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-2021-42098/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42098/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-42098","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42098/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-42098","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2f87-25r8-5pw3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Remote Desktop Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass permission checks in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager via batch custom PowerShell, leading to unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"DEVOLUTIONS","cpe":[{"product":"remote_desktop_manager","vendor":"devolutions"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"An incomplete permission check on entries in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager before 2021.2.16 allows attackers to bypass permissions via batch custom PowerShell.","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":"Missing authorization in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2021-42098","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"devolutions:remote_desktop_manager","products":["devolutions:remote_desktop_manager"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42099"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42097"},"products":["Remote Desktop Manager"],"published":"2021-10-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2026-2590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2024-6057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2023-6593","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2023-5765","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2023-4373","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2026-12161","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2024-11621","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-10"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["Devolutions"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass permission checks in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager via batch custom PowerShell, leading to unauthorized access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42098/"}
