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-2020-27123 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client. 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-2020-27123/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27123/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-27123","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27123/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-27123","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w2f2-q5rv-4h3g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco AnyConnect Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local authenticated attacker can read arbitrary files on the system via a crafted IPC message to the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"anyconnect_secure_mobility_client","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-749","name":"Exposed Dangerous Method or Function"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the interprocess communication (IPC) channel of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to read arbitrary files on the underlying operating system of an affected device.
