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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-16901 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10. 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-2020-16901/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16901/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-16901","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16901/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-16901","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xp39-whpp-93gx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can run a crafted application to leak kernel memory information, aiding further system compromise.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-665","name":"Improper Initialization"}],"description":"\u003cp\u003eAn information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly initializes objects in memory.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo exploit this vulnerability, an authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application.
