An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-16242 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: General Electric Reason S20 Ethernet Switch. 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-2020-16242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-16242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16242/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-16242","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-32r6-5q68-q96f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GE Ethernet Switch","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cross-site scripting in GE Reason S20 switches allows attackers to trick users into modifying accounts, risking unauthorized access and data changes.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"s2020_firmware","vendor":"ge"},{"product":"s2024_firmware","vendor":"ge"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The affected Reason S20 Ethernet Switch is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS), which may allow an attacker to trick application users into performing critical application actions that include, but are not limited to, adding and updating accounts.","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":"GE Reason S20 Ethernet Switch","id":"CVE-2020-16242","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in LeviStudioU","id":"CVE-2020-16243"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Philips SureSigns VS4 Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2020-16241"},"products":["Reason S20 Ethernet Switch"],"published":"2020-09-25","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"GE Reason S20 Ethernet Switch","id":"CVE-2020-16246","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-20"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in GE S2020/S2020G Fast Switch 61850","id":"CVE-2019-18267","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-18"}],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["General Electric"]},"summary":"Cross-site scripting in GE Reason S20 switches allows attackers to trick users into modifying accounts, risking unauthorized access and data changes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16242/"}
