An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-12594 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG). 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-2020-12594/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12594/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-12594","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12594/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-12594","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6w26-5ccg-87xc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symantec Messaging Gateway","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A malicious authenticated privileged CLI user can escalate privileges to gain full control over the Symantec Messaging Gateway appliance.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"symantec_messaging_gateway","vendor":"broadcom"}],"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":"A privilege escalation flaw allows a malicious, authenticated, privileged CLI user to escalate their privileges on the system and gain full control over the SMG appliance.
