It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-3427 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Duo Authentication for Windows Logon and RDP. 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-2020-3427/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3427/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-3427","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3427/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-3427","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-437m-6wfg-j372"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Logon installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit path validation flaws in the installer to write to privileged directories, potentially achieving privilege escalation or causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"duo_authentication_for_windows_logon_and_rdp","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-280","name":"Improper Handling of Insufficient Permissions or Privileges"}],"description":"The Windows Logon installer prior to 4.1.2 did not properly validate file installation paths.
