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-2020-16246 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-2020-16246/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16246/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-16246","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16246/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-16246","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6c46-9x5g-g2vg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GE Ethernet Switch","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute malicious JavaScript in victim browsers via cross-site scripting on the GE Reason S20 Ethernet Switch.","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 attackers to trick users into following a link or navigating to a page that posts a malicious JavaScript statement to the vulnerable site, causing the malicious JavaScript to be rendered by the site and executed by the victim client.","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-2020-16246","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Philips Clinical Collaboration Platform Configuration","id":"CVE-2020-16247"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Advantech iView","id":"CVE-2020-16245"},"products":["Reason S20 Ethernet Switch"],"published":"2020-10-20","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"GE Reason S20 Ethernet Switch","id":"CVE-2020-16242","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"},{"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":"Attackers can execute malicious JavaScript in victim browsers via cross-site scripting on the GE Reason S20 Ethernet Switch.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16246/"}
