It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-21220 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-21220 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition, published on 9 Feb 2022. 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-2022-21220 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition. 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-2022-21220/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21220/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21220","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21220/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21220","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hwc9-2qcx-r45x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Quartus Prime","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can exploit an XML external entity vulnerability in Intel Quartus Prime to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"quartus_prime","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","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-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"Improper restriction of XML external entity for Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition before version 21.3 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.","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":"XML external entity in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2022-21220","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-21221"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in CX-Programmer","id":"CVE-2022-21219"},"products":["Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition"],"published":"2022-02-09","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2021-44454","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2022-21174","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Standard Edition","id":"CVE-2022-21203","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2022-21204","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2019-14603","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-16"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel Quartus Prime","id":"CVE-2018-3683","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-10"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local attacker can exploit an XML external entity vulnerability in Intel Quartus Prime to escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21220/"}
