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-2020-36154 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2020-36154/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36154/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-36154","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36154/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-36154","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-762w-4wr8-9572"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Pearson VUE VTS Installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain administrative privileges by exploiting insecure directory permissions in the Pearson VUE VTS Installer.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vue_testing_system","vendor":"pearson"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"The Application Wrapper in Pearson VUE VTS Installer 2.3.1911 has Full Control permissions for Everyone in the \"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\\Pearson VUE\" directory, which allows local users to obtain administrative privileges via a Trojan horse application.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36154","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36155"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36152"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-01-04","related":[],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain administrative privileges by exploiting insecure directory permissions in the Pearson VUE VTS Installer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36154/"}
