An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2020-14496 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-14496 is a high-severity vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric CPU Module Logging Configuration Tool, published on 19 May 2022. 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-2020-14496 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mitsubishi Electric CPU Module Logging Configuration Tool. 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-2020-14496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-14496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14496/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-14496","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j3qh-9fj7-j65q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution","denial_of_service","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Factory Automation Software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges to execute malicious code, causing denial of service and data compromise in Mitsubishi Electric factory automation tools.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"cpu_module_logging_configuration_tool","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"cw_configurator","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"data_transfer","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"em_configurator","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"ezsocket","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"fr_configurator2","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"gt_designer3","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"gt_softgot1000","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"gt_softgot2000","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"gx_logviewer","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"gx_works2","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"gx_works3","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"m_commdtm-hart","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"m_commdtm-io-link","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"melfa-works","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"melsoft_fielddeviceconfigurator","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"melsoft_navigator","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"mh11_settingtool_version2","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"motorizer","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"mr_configurator2","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"mt_works2","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"mx_component","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"network_interface_board_cc-link_ver.2_utility","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"network_interface_board_cc_ie_control_utility","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"network_interface_board_cc_ie_field_utility","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"network_interface_board_mneth_utility","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"px_developer","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"rt_toolbox2","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"},{"product":"rt_toolbox3","vendor":"mitsubishielectric"}],"cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-275","name":null}],"description":"Successful exploitation of this vulnerability for multiple Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation Engineering Software Products of various versions could allow an attacker to escalate privilege and execute malicious programs, which could cause a denial-of-service condition, and allow information to be disclosed, tampered with, and/or destroyed.","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":"Mitsubishi Electric Multiple Factory Automation Engineering Software Products (Update A) -
