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-2020-24908 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Checkmk Checkmk. 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-2020-24908/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24908/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-24908","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24908/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-24908","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vqv8-v28v-329v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Checkmk monitoring agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain SYSTEM privileges by placing a malicious shell script in the Checkmk agent's local directory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"checkmk","vendor":"checkmk"}],"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":[],"description":"Checkmk before 1.6.0p17 allows local users to obtain SYSTEM privileges via a Trojan horse shell script in the %PROGRAMDATA%\\checkmk\\agent\\local directory.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24908","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"checkmk:checkmk","products":["checkmk:checkmk"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"qcubed reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-24912"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24904"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-02-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"omd: Local privilege escalation when executing omd commands as root","id":"CVE-2025-39666","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-07"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Fix 2FA bypass via RestAPI","id":"CVE-2024-8606","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-23"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"PHP code injection in watolib","id":"CVE-2022-46836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation in Windows License plugin for Checkmk Windows Agent","id":"CVE-2025-32919","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows agent","id":"CVE-2024-28827","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"1-Click compromize via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-28828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Unrestricted upload and download paths in check_sftp","id":"CVE-2024-28826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-29"}],"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":"Local attackers can gain SYSTEM privileges by placing a malicious shell script in the Checkmk agent's local directory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24908/"}
