CVE-2021-43828: PatrOwl is a free and open-source solution for orchestrating Security Operations. In versions prior to 1.77 an improper privilege management (IDOR) has been found in PatrowlManager. All imports findings file is placed under /media/imports/<owner_id>/<tmp_file> In that, owner_id is predictable and tmp_file is in format of import_<ownder_id>_<time_created>, for example: import_1_1639213059582.json This filename is predictable and allows anyone without logging in to download all finding import files This vulnerability is capable of allowing unlogged in users to download all finding imports file. Users are advised to update to 1.7.7 as soon as possible. There are no known workarounds.
The exploitability of CVE-2021-43828 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2021-43828 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2021-43828, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2021-43828, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
The EPSS score estimates the probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the near future.
EPSS Score: 0.36% (probability of exploit)
EPSS Percentile: 72.42%
(lower percentile = lower relative risk)
This vulnerability is less risky than approximately 27.58% of others.
