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-2020-3458 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software. 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-2020-3458/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3458/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-3458","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3458/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-3458","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xj5h-8prx-gpx7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco ASA/FTD appliance","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated local attackers can bypass secure boot to inject persistent code into Cisco ASA and FTD appliances, compromising the boot chain.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"adaptive_security_appliance_software","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"secure_firewall_threat_defense","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-693","name":"Protection Mechanism Failure"}],"description":"Multiple vulnerabilities in the secure boot process of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software for the Firepower 1000 Series and Firepower 2100 Series Appliances could allow an authenticated, local attacker to bypass the secure boot mechanism. The vulnerabilities are due to insufficient protections of the secure boot process. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by injecting code into specific files that are then referenced during the device boot process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to break the chain of trust and inject code into the boot process of the device, which would be executed at each boot and maintain persistence across reboots.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software","id":"CVE-2020-3458","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software","products":["cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software","cisco:secure_firewall_threat_defense"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco FXOS Software for Firepower 4100/9300 Series Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-3459"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco FXOS Software Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-3457"},"products":["Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software"],"published":"2020-10-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-20333","kev_date_added":"2025-09-25","published":"2025-09-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) SNMP Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2016-6366","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-18"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Heap Inspection","id":"CVE-2026-20349","kev_date_added":"2026-08-11","published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2024-20353","kev_date_added":"2024-04-24","published":"2024-04-24"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) CLI Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2016-6367","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Read-Only Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2020-3452","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2020-3259","kev_date_added":"2024-02-15","published":"2020-05-06"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-13","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Authenticated local attackers can bypass secure boot to inject persistent code into Cisco ASA and FTD appliances, compromising the boot chain.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3458/"}
