Helpdesk, published on 1 Jul 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-2500 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: QNAP Systems Inc. Helpdesk. 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-2020-2500/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-2500/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-2500","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-2500/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-2500","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v7p7-qff5-5j8w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"QNAP Helpdesk","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can access sensitive data and control the QNAP Kayako service by exploiting hardcoded API keys in the Helpdesk application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"qnap","cpe":[{"product":"helpdesk","vendor":"qnap"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"},{"id":"CWE-321","name":"Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"This improper access control vulnerability in Helpdesk allows attackers to get control of QNAP Kayako service.
