An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2024-27899 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2024-27899 is a high-severity vulnerability in SAP_SE SAP NetWeaver AS Java User Management Engine, published on 9 Apr 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-27899 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SAP_SE SAP NetWeaver AS Java User Management Engine. 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-2024-27899/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-27899/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-27899","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-27899/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-27899","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-556c-jfj4-29vc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP NetWeaver AS Java","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass security answer requirements in SAP NetWeaver AS Java user management, leading to potential confidentiality breaches and account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sap","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-640","name":"Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password"}],"description":"Self-Registration and Modify your own profile in User Admin Application of NetWeaver AS Java does not enforce proper security requirements for the content of the newly defined security answer.
