It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-20406 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Atlassian Confluence Data Center. 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-2019-20406/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-20406/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-20406","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-20406/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-20406","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gw5q-m62q-j9vf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Confluence Data Center","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges and execute code via DLL hijacking in Confluence on Windows by writing to a directory in the global path.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"atlassian","cpe":[{"product":"confluence","vendor":"atlassian"},{"product":"confluence_server","vendor":"atlassian"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"The usage of Tomcat in Confluence on the Microsoft Windows operating system before version 7.0.5, and from version 7.1.0 before version 7.1.1 allows local system attackers who have permission to write a DLL file in a directory in the global path environmental variable variable to inject code \u0026 escalate their privileges via a DLL hijacking vulnerability.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Confluence Data Center","id":"CVE-2019-20406","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Jira Software","id":"CVE-2019-20407"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Jira Server","id":"CVE-2019-20405"},"products":["Confluence Data Center"],"published":"2020-02-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in Confluence Server","id":"CVE-2019-3395","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Confluence Server","id":"CVE-2019-3394","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-29"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Other in Confluence Server","id":"CVE-2019-15006","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-19"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Confluence","id":"CVE-2017-18085","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-02-02"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18086","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-02-02"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Confluence","id":"CVE-2017-16856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-05"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Atlassian"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges and execute code via DLL hijacking in Confluence on Windows by writing to a directory in the global path.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-20406/"}
