It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, 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-2020-15778 exists.\n\nAffected product: Broadcom Fabric Operating System. 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-2020-15778/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15778/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-15778","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15778/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-15778","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2020-15778","ALSA-2024:3166","DEBIAN-CVE-2020-15778","GHSA-cvxm-8hgf-6m6m","RHSA-2024:3166","RLSA-2024:3166","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-15778"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenSSH scp client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary commands via malicious scp destination arguments, affecting OpenSSH users relying on scp for file transfers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"fabric_operating_system","vendor":"broadcom"},{"product":"a700s_firmware","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"active_iq_unified_manager","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_compute_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_management_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_storage_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"solidfire","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"steelstore_cloud_integrated_storage","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"openssh","vendor":"openbsd"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"scp in OpenSSH through 8.3p1 allows command injection in the scp.c toremote function, as demonstrated by backtick characters in the destination argument.
