BRAdmin Professional, published on 21 Jan 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-47869 exists.\n\nAffected product: Brother Industries, Ltd. BRAdmin Professional. 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-2021-47869/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47869/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47869","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47869/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47869","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-79hw-x9f6-2j52"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BRAdmin Professional","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code with system privileges by placing a malicious executable in the unquoted service path directory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"Brother BRAdmin Professional 3.75 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the BRA_Scheduler service that allows local users to potentially execute arbitrary code.
