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-2020-3514 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center. 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-2020-3514/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3514/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-3514","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3514/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-3514","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fjp7-wvw8-x28g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco FTD Software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated local attackers can escape containers to execute root commands on the host, impacting other instances and the underlying device.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"secure_firewall_management_center","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"secure_firewall_threat_defense","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-216","name":"DEPRECATED: Containment Errors (Container Errors)"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the multi-instance feature of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to escape the container for their Cisco FTD instance and execute commands with root privileges in the host namespace. The attacker must have valid credentials on the device.The vulnerability exists because a configuration file that is used at container startup has insufficient protections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by modifying a specific container configuration file on the underlying file system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands with root privileges within the host namespace. This could allow the attacker to impact other running Cisco FTD instances or the host Cisco FXOS device.","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":"Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software Multi-Instance Container Escape Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-3514","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:secure_firewall_management_center","products":["cisco:secure_firewall_management_center","cisco:secure_firewall_threat_defense"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco Firepower Management Center Software Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2020-3515"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software for Cisco ASR 900 Series Route Switch Processor 3 Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2020-3513"},"products":["Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software"],"published":"2020-10-21","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Firewall Management Center Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel","id":"CVE-2026-20079","kev_date_added":"2026-09-09","published":"2026-03-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software and Cisco Security Cloud Control (SCC) Firewall Management Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2026-20131","kev_date_added":"2026-03-19","published":"2026-03-04"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Use of Hard-coded Password","id":"CVE-2026-20316","kev_date_added":"2026-07-29","published":"2026-07-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Software Radius Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-20265","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-14"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Command injection in Cisco Firepower Management Center","id":"CVE-2024-20424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-23"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Missing authorization in Cisco Firepower Management Center","id":"CVE-2023-20048","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco Firepower Management Center Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-16028","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-23"}],"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 escape containers to execute root commands on the host, impacting other instances and the underlying device.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3514/"}
