An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-24046 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-2020-24046/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24046/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-24046","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24046/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-24046","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m5r6-8jfm-hp4w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SpamTitan Gateway","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can escalate privileges to root by modifying the admin user's shell and UID via the backup import feature.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"spamtitan","vendor":"titanhq"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"A sandbox escape issue was discovered in TitanHQ SpamTitan Gateway 7.07. It limits the admin user to a restricted shell, allowing execution of a small number of tools of the operating system. This restricted shell can be bypassed after changing the properties of the user admin in the operating system file /etc/passwd. This file cannot be accessed though the restricted shell, but it can be modified by abusing the Backup/Import Backup functionality of the web interface. An authenticated attacker would be able to obtain the file /var/tmp/admin.passwd after executing a Backup operation. This file can be manually modified to change the GUID of the user to 0 (root) and change the restricted shell to a normal shell /bin/sh. After the modification is done, the file can be recompressed to a .tar.bz file and imported again via the Import Backup functionality. The properties of the admin user will be overwritten and a root shell will be granted to the user upon the next successful login.","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-2020-24046","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24051"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24045"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-09-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11698","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11803","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-6800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-05"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24045","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-17"}],"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 authenticated attacker can escalate privileges to root by modifying the admin user's shell and UID via the backup import feature.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24046/"}
