An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-1096 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Edge. 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-2020-1096/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1096/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-1096","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1096/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-1096","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8q69-fxwh-w5gr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Edge browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into viewing a malicious PDF in Microsoft Edge, potentially gaining full system control.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"edge","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":4.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge PDF Reader improperly handles objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.\nTo exploit the vulnerability, in a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website that contains malicious PDF content. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted PDF content that could exploit the vulnerability. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force a user to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince a user to take action. For example, an attacker could trick a user into clicking a link that takes the user to the attacker's site.\nThe security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Microsoft Edge PDF Reader handles objects in memory.","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":"Microsoft Edge PDF Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1096","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:edge","products":["microsoft:edge"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows Graphics Component Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1097"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows","id":"CVE-2020-1094"},"products":["Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML-based)"],"published":"2020-05-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-26411","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-7200","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2016-11-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-7201","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2016-11-10"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2017-0037","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2017-02-26"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2016-3351","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-09-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Microsoft ChakraCore","id":"CVE-2017-0028","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2017-0223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-15"}],"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":"2026-08-19","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into viewing a malicious PDF in Microsoft Edge, potentially gaining full system control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1096/"}
