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-2020-20269 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2020-20269/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-20269/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-20269","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-20269/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-20269","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mjqr-4qcm-8x7g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Markdown editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute malicious JavaScript via crafted Markdown files in Caret Editor, potentially compromising user systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"caret","vendor":"caret"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"A specially crafted Markdown document could cause the execution of malicious JavaScript code in Caret Editor before 4.0.0-rc22.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-20269","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-20276"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-20267"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-01-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9927","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"XSS in Caret markdown editor leads to remote code execution when viewing crafted Markdown files","id":"CVE-2022-42967","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-11"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute malicious JavaScript via crafted Markdown files in Caret Editor, potentially compromising user systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-20269/"}
