Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2020-1956 in the wild since at least 25 Mar 2022.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.kylin:kylin-core-common (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.6.6\n- org.apache.kylin:kylin-core-common (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.6.6\n- org.apache.kylin:kylin-core-common (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.0.2\n- org.apache.kylin:kylin-core-common (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.0.2\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-2020-1956/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1956/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-1956","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-1956/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-1956","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gprm-xqrc-c2j3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Kylin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary OS commands via RESTful APIs in Apache Kylin due to lack of input validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"kylin","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"Apache Kylin 2.3.0, and releases up to 2.6.5 and 3.0.1 has some restful apis which will concatenate os command with the user input string, a user is likely to be able to execute any os command without any protection or validation.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2021-07-08","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2021-07-08T00:58:07Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/b510/CVE-2020-1956","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2020-1956"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2020/CVE-2020-1956.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Apache Kylin 3.0.1 -
