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-2020-11455 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- limesurvey (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 4.1.12, 4.1.12, 4.1.13\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-2020-11455/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11455/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-11455","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11455/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-11455","record":{"aliases":["BIT-limesurvey-2020-11455","GHSA-x533-9x59-8hwv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LimeSurvey survey tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in LimeSurvey to read or modify arbitrary files on the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"limesurvey","vendor":"limesurvey"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"LimeSurvey before 4.1.12+200324 contains a path traversal vulnerability in application/controllers/admin/LimeSurveyFileManager.php.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2020-04-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2020-04-02","kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/http/limesurvey_zip_traversals","stars":null,"title":"LimeSurvey Zip Path Traversals"},{"date":"2020-04-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"48297","stars":null,"title":"LimeSurvey 4.1.11 - 'File Manager' Path Traversal"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2020/CVE-2020-11455.yaml","stars":null,"title":"LimeSurvey 4.1.11 - Local File Inclusion"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11455","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"limesurvey:limesurvey","products":["limesurvey:limesurvey"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2020"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11456"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["4.1.12","4.1.12","4.1.13"],"introduced":["0","4.1.12-200324","4.1.12"],"last_affected":[],"package":"limesurvey","purl":"pkg:bitnami/limesurvey","source":"BIT-limesurvey-2020-11455"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11454"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-04-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-56422","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-25019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"TCPDF vulnerable to attackers triggering deserialization of arbitrary data","id":"CVE-2018-17057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in LimeSurvey to read or modify arbitrary files on the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11455/"}
