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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-29838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Western Digital My Cloud. 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-2022-29838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-29838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29838/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-29838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cqwg-qq7j-c4fr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Western Digital My Cloud","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can gain insecure direct access to drive information on Western Digital My Cloud devices after a reset due to improper authentication in encrypted volume features.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WDC PSIRT","cpe":[{"product":"my_cloud_os","vendor":"westerndigital"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Improper Authentication vulnerability in the encrypted volumes and auto mount features of Western Digital My Cloud devices allows insecure direct access to the drive information in the case of a device reset.
