Official Description
Insufficient Input Validation in Web Applications operating on Business-DNA Solutions GmbH’s TopEase® Platform Version <= 7.1.27 on an object’s date attribute(s) allows an authenticated remote attacker with Object Modification privileges to insert an unexpected format into date fields, which leads to breaking the object page that the date field is present.

CVE-2021-42121 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
