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-2021-42254 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2021-42254/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42254/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-42254","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42254/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-42254","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-959q-hg7j-486g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Privilege Management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can read sensitive data from temporary files due to insecure directory permissions in BeyondTrust Privilege Management.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"privilege_management_for_windows","vendor":"beyondtrust"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-668","name":"Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere"}],"description":"BeyondTrust Privilege Management prior to version 21.6 creates a Temporary File in a Directory with Insecure Permissions.","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":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42254","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42255"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42252"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-11-19","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12613","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12614","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12612","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12615","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-28369","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-12"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege Management for Windows - Elevation of Privilege","id":"CVE-2025-2297","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-28"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can read sensitive data from temporary files due to insecure directory permissions in BeyondTrust Privilege Management.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42254/"}
