An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2000-0720 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0720/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0720/index.md)","id":"CVE-2000-0720","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0720/index.md","name":"CVE-2000-0720","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vr7c-vmw2-482c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GWScripts News Publisher","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can add new authors to GWScripts News Publisher by bypassing authentication checks in news.cgi.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"gwscripts_news_publisher","vendor":"gwscripts"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"news.cgi in GWScripts News Publisher does not properly authenticate requests to add an author to the author index, which allows remote attackers to add new authors by directly posting an HTTP request to the new.cgi program with an addAuthor parameter, and setting the Referer to the news.cgi program.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2000-08-29","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2000-08-29","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20183","stars":null,"title":"GWScripts News Publisher 1.0 - 'author.file' Write"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0720","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2000"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0721"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0719"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-05-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can add new authors to GWScripts News Publisher by bypassing authentication checks in news.cgi.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0720/"}
