CVE-2021-41594

NVD-CWE-noinfoPublished: March 30, 2022· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

6.5

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

In RSA Archer 6.9.SP1 P3, if some application functions are precluded by the Administrator, this can be bypassed by intercepting the API request at the /api/V2/internal/TaskPermissions/CheckTaskAccess endpoint. If the parameters of this request are replaced with empty fields, the attacker achieves access to the precluded functions.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2021-41594 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 6.5.
