CVE-2021-27931
Published: April 11, 2026
Official Description
LumisXP (aka Lumis Experience Platform) before 10.0.0 allows unauthenticated blind XXE via an API request to PageControllerXml.jsp. One can send a request crafted with an XXE payload and achieve outcomes such as reading local server files or denial of service.
Risk Analysis
This vulnerability in LumisXP allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. This can lead to reading sensitive server files or causing a denial of service. The confirmed exploitation in the wild makes this a critical concern.
Active exploitation of this vulnerability has been observed in the wild, and it is listed in CISA's KEV catalog. The flaw is remotely exploitable without authentication.
Upgrade LumisXP to version 10.0.0 or later to address this vulnerability. Ensure all web-facing applications are regularly updated and configured securely.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2021-27931 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2021-27931 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
