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-2020-22809 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-2020-22809/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-22809/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-22809","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-22809/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-22809","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5x8c-v227-pcxw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windscribe VPN client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges by exploiting an unquoted service path in the Windscribe VPN client service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windscribe","vendor":"windscribe"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"In Windscribe v1.83 Build 20, 'WindscribeService' has an Unquoted Service Path that facilitates privilege escalation.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-22809","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-22818"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-22808"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-05-10","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Windscribe Directory Traversal Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-6141","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windscribe","id":"CVE-2022-41141","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-27518","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-11479","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-11334","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Windscribe for Linux 'changeMTU' local privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2025-65199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-10"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges by exploiting an unquoted service path in the Windscribe VPN client service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-22809/"}
