It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2020-0733 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-0733 is a high-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 32-bit, published on 11 Feb 2020. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-0733 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 32-bit. 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-2020-0733/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-0733/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-0733","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-0733/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-0733","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x33v-f6gc-c6qx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows MSRT","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with local execution can exploit improper junction handling in the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_malicious_software_removal_tool","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) improperly handles junctions.To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to gain execution on the victim system, aka 'Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool Elevation of Privilege 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 Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 32-bit","id":"CVE-2020-0733","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows Remote Desktop Client when a user connects to a malicious server, aka 'Remote De","id":"CVE-2020-0734"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows","id":"CVE-2020-0732"},"products":["Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 32-bit","Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 64-bit"],"published":"2020-02-11","related":[{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-21725","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-10"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker with local execution can exploit improper junction handling in the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-0733/"}
