{"answers":{"affected":"3 open source packages ship an affected version, including red-discordbot and Red-DiscordBot. It affects 1 product.","exploited":"There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-15278 in the wild and no public exploit code.","fix":"Upgrade red-discordbot to 3.4.1 or later.","what":"CVE-2020-15278 is a high-severity vulnerability in Cog-Creators Red-DiscordBot, published on 28 Oct 2020."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2020-15278 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-15278 is a high-severity vulnerability in Cog-Creators Red-DiscordBot, published on 28 Oct 2020. \nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-15278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- red-discordbot (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.1\n- red-discordbot (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.1\n- Red-DiscordBot (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.4.1\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-2020-15278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-15278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15278/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-15278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mp9m-g7qj-6vqr","PYSEC-2020-267"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"red_discord_bot","vendor":"cogboard"}],"cvss":{"score":7.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"Red Discord Bot before version 3.4.1 has an unauthorized privilege escalation exploit in the Mod module. This exploit allows Discord users with a high privilege level within the guild to bypass hierarchy checks when the application is in a specific condition that is beyond that user's control. By abusing this exploit, it is possible to perform destructive actions within the guild the user has high privileges in. This exploit has been fixed in version 3.4.1. As a workaround, unloading the Mod module with unload mod or, disabling the massban command with command disable global massban can render this exploit not accessible. We still highly recommend updating to 3.4.1 to completely patch this issue.","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":"Unauthorized privilege escalation in Mod module","id":"CVE-2020-15278","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2020"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Scanning exclusion paths disclosure in BEST for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-15279"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"Red-DiscordBot","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mp9m-g7qj-6vqr"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"red-discordbot","purl":"pkg:pypi/red-discordbot","source":"GHSA-mp9m-g7qj-6vqr"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"red-discordbot","purl":"pkg:pypi/red-discordbot","source":"PYSEC-2020-267"}],"prev":{"headline":"Remote Code Execution in baserCMS","id":"CVE-2020-15277"},"products":["Red-DiscordBot"],"published":"2020-10-28","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Remote Code Execution in Red Discord Bot","id":"CVE-2020-15147","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-21"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Remote Code Execution in Red Discord Bot","id":"CVE-2020-15140","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-21"}],"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":["Cog-Creators"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15278/"}
