An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-27169 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-2023-27169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-27169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27169/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-27169","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xp6g-r6xf-wr5c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"License management library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Hardcoded salt in Xpand IT Write-back manager allows attackers to predict encryption keys and bypass license validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"write-back_manager","vendor":"xpand-it"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"Xpand IT Write-back manager v2.3.1 uses a hardcoded salt in license class configuration which leads to the generation of a hardcoded and predictable symmetric encryption keys for license generation and validation.","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-2023-27169","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-27170"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-27168"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-27168","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-19"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-27172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-20"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-27170","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-26"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Hardcoded salt in Xpand IT Write-back manager allows attackers to predict encryption keys and bypass license validation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27169/"}
