An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-14942 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- tendenci (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.11\n- tendenci (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.11\n- tendenci (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.11\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-2020-14942/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14942/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-14942","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14942/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-14942","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jqmc-fxxp-r589","PYSEC-2020-112"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Tendenci CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via unrestricted deserialization in the Tendenci helpdesk staff view.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"tendenci","vendor":"tendenci"}],"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-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"Tendenci 12.0.10 allows unrestricted deserialization in apps\\helpdesk\\views\\staff.py.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Tendenci","id":"CVE-2020-14942","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"deserialization","year":"2020"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-14943"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["12.0.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"tendenci","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jqmc-fxxp-r589"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["12.0.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"tendenci","purl":"pkg:pypi/tendenci","source":"GHSA-jqmc-fxxp-r589"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["12.0.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"tendenci","purl":"pkg:pypi/tendenci","source":"PYSEC-2020-112"}],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-14940"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-06-21","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Tendenci has Authenticated Remote Code Execution via Pickle Deserialization","id":"CVE-2026-23946","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-22"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Tendenci CMS Contains a Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability in its Jobs Module","id":"CVE-2025-70959","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-02"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Tendenci CMS contains a stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Forums module","id":"CVE-2025-70960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-02"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Tendenci 12.3.1 - CSV/ Formula Injection","id":"CVE-2020-36962","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-28"}],"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":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via unrestricted deserialization in the Tendenci helpdesk staff view.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14942/"}
