An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-16239 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Philips SureSigns VS4. 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-2020-16239/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16239/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-16239","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16239/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-16239","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r5f2-9rjc-r66m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Philips SureSigns VS4","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication on Philips SureSigns VS4 devices due to improper identity verification, potentially gaining unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"suresigns_vs4_firmware","vendor":"philips"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"When an actor claims to have a given identity, \n\nPhilips SureSigns VS4, A.07.107 and prior \ndoes not prove or insufficiently proves the claim is correct.","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":"Philips SureSigns VS4 Improper Authentication","id":"CVE-2020-16239","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in GE Digital APM Classic","id":"CVE-2020-16240"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"B.
