It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-16235 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Emerson Open Enterprise. 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-2020-16235/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16235/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-16235","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16235/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-16235","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ppp5-ggm8-7mmf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SCADA system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Weak encryption in Emerson OpenEnterprise allows attackers to obtain credentials for accessing field devices and external systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"openenterprise_scada_server","vendor":"emerson"}],"cvss":{"score":3.8,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-326","name":"Inadequate Encryption Strength"}],"description":"Inadequate encryption may allow the credentials used by Emerson OpenEnterprise, up through version 3.3.5, to access field devices and external systems to be obtained.","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":"Emerson OpenEnterprise - Inadequate Encryption Strength","id":"CVE-2020-16235","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"anasonic FPWIN Pro","id":"CVE-2020-16236"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"FATEK Automation PLC WinProladder","id":"CVE-2020-16234"},"products":["Open Enterprise"],"published":"2022-05-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ICSA-20-140-02 Emerson OpenEnterprise","id":"CVE-2020-10640","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in OpenEnterprise","id":"CVE-2020-6970","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"ICSA-20-140-02 Emerson OpenEnterprise","id":"CVE-2020-10632","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-24"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"ICSA-20-140-02 Emerson OpenEnterprise","id":"CVE-2020-10636","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-16","vendors":["Emerson"]},"summary":"Weak encryption in Emerson OpenEnterprise allows attackers to obtain credentials for accessing field devices and external systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16235/"}
