It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-13162 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2020-13162/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-13162/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-13162","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-13162/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-13162","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jc87-47xg-wmhr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Pulse Secure Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged users can exploit a race condition in Pulse Secure Client to execute installer files with SYSTEM privileges, leading to full system compromise.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pulse_secure_desktop_client","vendor":"pulsesecure"},{"product":"pulse_secure_installer_service","vendor":"pulsesecure"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"}],"description":"A time-of-check time-of-use vulnerability in PulseSecureService.exe in Pulse Secure Client versions prior to 9.1.6 down to 5.3 R70 for Windows (which runs as NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM) allows unprivileged users to run a Microsoft Installer executable with elevated privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2020-09-02","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":10,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2020-09-02T17:58:32Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/redtimmy/tu-TOCTOU-kaiu-TOCMEU-CVE-2020-13162-","stars":10,"title":"Exploit for CVE-2020-13162"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-13162","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Improper certificate validation in em-imap","id":"CVE-2020-13163"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-13160"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-06-16","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Cient","id":"CVE-2020-8239","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8240","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8249","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-15865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-06"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Unprivileged users can exploit a race condition in Pulse Secure Client to execute installer files with SYSTEM privileges, leading to full system compromise.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-13162/"}
