It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2020-1704 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-1704 is a high-severity vulnerability in Red Hat openshift-service-mesh/kiali-rhel7-operator, published on 17 Feb 2020. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-1704 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat openshift-service-mesh/kiali-rhel7-operator. 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-2020-1704/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1704/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-1704","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1704/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-1704","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q483-wcf8-3hjc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenShift Service Mesh","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with container access can modify /etc/passwd to escalate privileges in OpenShift Service Mesh.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"openshift_service_mesh","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"},{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"An insecure modification vulnerability in the /etc/passwd file was found in all versions of OpenShift ServiceMesh (maistra) before 1.0.8 in the openshift/istio-kialia-rhel7-operator-container.
