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-2020-1904 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Facebook WhatsApp Business for iOS. 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-2020-1904/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1904/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-1904","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1904/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-1904","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v6f2-92p8-cg2q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WhatsApp iOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can overwrite files via directory traversal by sending specially crafted Office documents to WhatsApp iOS users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"facebook","cpe":[{"product":"whatsapp","vendor":"whatsapp"},{"product":"whatsapp_business","vendor":"whatsapp"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"},{"id":"CWE-23","name":"Relative Path Traversal"}],"description":"A path validation issue in WhatsApp for iOS prior to v2.20.61 and WhatsApp Business for iOS prior to v2.20.61 could have allowed for directory traversal overwriting files when sending specially crafted docx, xlsx, and pptx files as attachments to messages.","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":"Path traversal in WhatsApp Business for iOS","id":"CVE-2020-1904","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in WhatsApp for Android","id":"CVE-2020-1905"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in WhatsApp Business for iOS","id":"CVE-2020-1903"},"products":["WhatsApp Business for iOS","WhatsApp for iOS"],"published":"2020-10-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WhatsApp VOIP Stack Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2019-3568","kev_date_added":"2022-04-19","published":"2019-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"WhatsApp Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2019-18426","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2020-01-21"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Meta Platforms WhatsApp Incorrect Authorization","id":"CVE-2025-55177","kev_date_added":"2025-09-02","published":"2025-08-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in WhatsApp Business for Android","id":"CVE-2022-36934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in WhatsApp Business for Android","id":"CVE-2021-24042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in WhatsApp Business for Android","id":"CVE-2021-24041","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in WhatsApp Business for Android","id":"CVE-2021-24026","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-06"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["Facebook"]},"summary":"Attackers can overwrite files via directory traversal by sending specially crafted Office documents to WhatsApp iOS users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1904/"}
