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-2020-24681 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: B\u0026R Industrial Automation Automation Studio. 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-2020-24681/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24681/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-24681","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24681/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-24681","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qc2v-frq4-w9pj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Industrial automation software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Incorrect permission assignments in B\u0026R Automation Studio allow local attackers to escalate privileges on the system.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ABB","cpe":[{"product":"automation_studio","vendor":"br-automation"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in B\u0026R Industrial Automation Automation Studio allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Automation Studio: from 4.6.0 through 4.6.X, from 4.7.0 before 4.7.7 SP, from 4.8.0 before 4.8.6 SP, from 4.9.0 before 4.9.4 SP.","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":"Automation Studio and PVI Multiple incorrect permission assignments for services","id":"CVE-2020-24681","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":"Automation Studio and PVI Multiple unquoted service path vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2020-24682"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Credential Storage in Symphony Plus","id":"CVE-2020-24680"},"products":["Automation Studio","NET/PVI"],"published":"2024-02-02","related":[{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"B\u0026R products use insufficient communication encryption","id":"CVE-2024-0220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-22"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"RCE in B\u0026R Automation Studio with crafted project files","id":"CVE-2021-22282","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation via B\u0026R Automation Studio upgrade service","id":"CVE-2019-19100","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-29"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"DLL Hijacking Vulnerability in Automation Studio","id":"CVE-2021-22280","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-14"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Incomplete communication encryption and validation in B\u0026R Automation Studio upgrade service","id":"CVE-2019-19101","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-29"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Zip Slip Vulnerability in B\u0026R Automation Studio Project Import","id":"CVE-2021-22281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-02"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-09","vendors":["B\u0026R Industrial Automation"]},"summary":"Incorrect permission assignments in B\u0026R Automation Studio allow local attackers to escalate privileges on the system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24681/"}
