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-2020-1565 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-1565 is a high-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10, published on 17 Aug 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-1565 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10. 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-2020-1565/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1565/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-1565","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1565/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-1565","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-28mp-5jqq-gwr6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker with local access can elevate privileges by exploiting improper junction handling in the Public Account Pictures folder.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2019","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the \u0026quot;Public Account Pictures\u0026quot; folder improperly handles junctions.\nTo exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to gain execution on the victim system.
