Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-21822 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL AppScan 360°. 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-2026-21822/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-21822/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-21822","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-21822/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-21822","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g8rr-pmrr-phx9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL AppScan 360°","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can read or write files outside the intended directory in HCL AppScan 360° via path traversal.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"HCLSoftware AppScan 360° was affected by a Path Traversal vulnerability in the ASReportService component.
