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-2021-43978 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-2021-43978/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-43978/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-43978","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-43978/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-43978","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x8r9-m3mh-g58r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Allegro Windows software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Allegro Windows embeds administrator credentials in binaries, allowing attackers to access and modify data using those credentials.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"allegro","vendor":"allegro"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AC:L/AV:A/A:N/C:H/I:L/PR:N/S:U/UI:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"Allegro WIndows 3.3.4152.0, embeds software administrator database credentials into its binary files, which allows users to access and modify data using the same credentials.","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":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-43978","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-43979"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-43977"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-12-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42110","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-08"}],"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":"2025-05-30","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Allegro Windows embeds administrator credentials in binaries, allowing attackers to access and modify data using those credentials.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-43978/"}
