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-2020-27738 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens APOGEE PXC Compact (BACnet). 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-2020-27738/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27738/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-27738","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27738/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-27738","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pqww-3mgv-r6mj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Siemens building automation","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial-of-service condition in Siemens building automation systems by sending malformed DNS responses that trigger an out-of-bounds read.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[{"product":"nucleus_net","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"nucleus_readystart_v3","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"nucleus_readystart_v4","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"nucleus_source_code","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"simotics_connect_400_firmware","vendor":"siemens"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"},{"id":"CWE-788","name":"Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in APOGEE PXC Compact (BACnet) (All versions \u003c V3.5.5), APOGEE PXC Compact (P2 Ethernet) (All versions \u003c V2.8.20), APOGEE PXC Modular (BACnet) (All versions \u003c V3.5.5), APOGEE PXC Modular (P2 Ethernet) (All versions \u003c V2.8.20), Nucleus NET (All versions), Nucleus ReadyStart V3 (All versions \u003c V2017.02.3), Nucleus ReadyStart V4 (All versions \u003c V4.1.0), Nucleus Source Code (Versions including affected DNS modules), SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 (All versions \u003c V0.5.0.0), TALON TC Compact (BACnet) (All versions \u003c V3.5.5), TALON TC Modular (BACnet) (All versions \u003c V3.5.5).
