It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-42702 exists.\n\nAffected product: Inkscape. 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-2021-42702/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42702/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-42702","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42702/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-42702","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-42702","GHSA-jg27-pgxp-gcv8","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-42702"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vector graphics editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exploit an uninitialized pointer in Inkscape to access unauthorized information, potentially leaking sensitive memory contents.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"inkscape","vendor":"inkscape"}],"cvss":{"score":3.3,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-824","name":"Access of Uninitialized Pointer"}],"description":"Inkscape version 0.91 can access an uninitialized pointer, which may allow an attacker to have access to unauthorized information.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Inkscape Access of Uninitialized Pointer","id":"CVE-2021-42702","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":"AzeoTech DAQFactory","id":"CVE-2021-42703"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"AzeoTech DAQFactory","id":"CVE-2021-42701"},"products":["Inkscape"],"published":"2022-05-18","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Inkscape Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2021-42704","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-18"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1463","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-03-21"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1464","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-03-21"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in Inkscape","id":"CVE-2026-4980","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-27"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3737","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-11-22"},{"cvss_score":4.4,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6076","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-03-12"},{"cvss_score":3.3,"headline":"Inkscape Out-of-bounds Read","id":"CVE-2021-42700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-18"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-16","vendors":["Inkscape"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit an uninitialized pointer in Inkscape to access unauthorized information, potentially leaking sensitive memory contents.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42702/"}
