An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-16971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.microsoft.azure:azure-eventhubs (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.1\n- com.microsoft.azure:azure-eventhubs (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.1\n- com.azure:azure-core-amqp (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 1.6.0\n- com.azure:azure-core-amqp (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 1.6.0\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-2020-16971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-16971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16971/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-16971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8q69-pw39-hpqh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Azure SDK for Java","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass security features in the Azure SDK for Java, potentially compromising application security controls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"azure_sdk_for_java","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Azure SDK for Java Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Azure SDK for Java Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-16971","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2020"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows Backup Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-16972"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.6.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.azure:azure-core-amqp","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8q69-pw39-hpqh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.6.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.azure:azure-core-amqp","purl":"pkg:maven/com.azure/azure-core-amqp","source":"GHSA-8q69-pw39-hpqh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.microsoft.azure:azure-eventhubs","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8q69-pw39-hpqh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.microsoft.azure:azure-eventhubs","purl":"pkg:maven/com.microsoft.azure/azure-eventhubs","source":"GHSA-8q69-pw39-hpqh"}],"prev":{"headline":"Azure Sphere Unsigned Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-16970"},"products":["Azure SDK","Azure SDK for Java"],"published":"2020-12-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Azure SDK for Java Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-33117","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-09","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass security features in the Azure SDK for Java, potentially compromising application security controls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-16971/"}
