An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-11977 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.syncope:syncope (Maven): affected from 2.1.0; fixed in 2.1.7\n- org.apache.syncope:syncope (Maven): affected from 2.1.0; fixed in 2.1.7\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-2020-11977/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11977/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-11977","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11977/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-11977","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p2rp-cmjq-r7wm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Syncope","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Administrators with workflow entitlements can execute arbitrary code via Shell Service Tasks when the Flowable extension is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"syncope","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In Apache Syncope 2.1.X releases prior to 2.1.7, when the Flowable extension is enabled, an administrator with workflow entitlements can use Shell Service Tasks to perform malicious operations, including but not limited to file read, file write, and code execution.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Shell command injection in Apache Syncope","id":"CVE-2020-11977","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2020"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Apache Airflow Command Injection","id":"CVE-2020-11978"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.1.7"],"introduced":["2.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.syncope:syncope","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-p2rp-cmjq-r7wm"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.1.7"],"introduced":["2.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.syncope:syncope","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.syncope/syncope","source":"GHSA-p2rp-cmjq-r7wm"}],"prev":{"headline":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Wicket","id":"CVE-2020-11976"},"products":["Apache Syncope"],"published":"2020-09-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Syncope: Remote Code Execution via Flowable BPMN Groovy ScriptTask","id":"CVE-2026-53405","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Syncope: Remote Code Execution via Scripted Connector","id":"CVE-2026-53421","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Syncope: SQL injection vulnerability in Audit Events search","id":"CVE-2026-57308","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Syncope: User self-service privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2026-62183","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Syncope: RCE via Groovy Sandbox bypass","id":"CVE-2026-63071","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Expression Language Injection in Apache Syncope","id":"CVE-2020-1959","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Injection in Apache Syncope","id":"CVE-2020-1961","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Administrators with workflow entitlements can execute arbitrary code via Shell Service Tasks when the Flowable extension is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11977/"}
