Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-3538 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Data Center Network Manager. 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-2020-3538/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3538/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-3538","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-3538/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-3538","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hgrp-6mh3-jm92"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco DCNM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can exploit a path traversal flaw in Cisco DCNM to overwrite or list arbitrary files on the server.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"data_center_network_manager","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/RL:X/RC:X/E:X","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in a certain REST API endpoint of Cisco\u0026nbsp;Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform a path traversal attack on an affected device.\r\nThe vulnerability is due to insufficient path restriction enforcement.
