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-2020-23171 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-2020-23171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-23171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-23171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-23171/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-23171","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3phc-v747-949q","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-23171"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nim programming language","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can write files to arbitrary directories in Nim-lang applications via crafted zip files containing dot-slash characters.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"nim-lang","vendor":"nim-lang"}],"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-610","name":"Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere"}],"description":"A vulnerability in all versions of Nim-lang allows unauthenticated attackers to write files to arbitrary directories via a crafted zip file with dot-slash characters included in the name of the crafted file.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-23171","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-23172"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-23162"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-08-10","related":[],"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":"Unauthenticated attackers can write files to arbitrary directories in Nim-lang applications via crafted zip files containing dot-slash characters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-23171/"}
