Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 3.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-42701
CWE-ID:
CWE-471 - Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not perform validation of the attacker-controlled data, assuming that data is valid and safe. A remote authenticated attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted project file, perform a man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack to obtain credentials and take over the user’s cloud account.
MitigationCybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
