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-2020-25031 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-2020-25031/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-25031/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-25031","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-25031/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-25031","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2020-25031","GHSA-3qwr-jvvx-5665","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-25031"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux package builder","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"checkinstall creates world-writable executables when packaging symlinks, allowing local attackers to modify files and escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"checkinstall","vendor":"canonical"}],"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":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"checkinstall 1.6.2, when used to create a package that contains a symlink, may trigger the creation of a mode 0777 executable 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":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-25031","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Flask-Cors Directory Traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-25032"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information Disclosure in TYPO3 extension sf_event_mgt","id":"CVE-2020-25026"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-08-31","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":"checkinstall creates world-writable executables when packaging symlinks, allowing local attackers to modify files and escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-25031/"}
