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-2020-36167 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-2020-36167/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36167/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-36167","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36167/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-36167","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xwmw-hpfw-6rrp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Backup Exec server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A low-privileged user can create a malicious OpenSSL configuration file to achieve arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM during service startup.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"backup_exec","vendor":"veritas"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AC:L/AV:L/A:H/C:H/I:H/PR:N/S:C/UI:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in the server in Veritas Backup Exec through 16.2, 20.6 before hotfix 298543, and 21.1 before hotfix 657517. On start-up, it loads the OpenSSL library from the Installation folder. This library in turn attempts to load the /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf configuration file, which may not exist. On Windows systems, this path could translate to \u003cdrive\u003e:\\usr\\local\\ssl\\openssl.cnf. A low privileged user can create a :\\usr\\local\\ssl\\openssl.cnf configuration file to load a malicious OpenSSL engine, resulting in arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM when the service starts. This gives the attacker administrator access on the system, allowing the attacker (by default) to access all data, access all installed applications, etc. If the system is also an Active Directory domain controller, then this can affect the entire domain.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36167","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36168"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36166"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-01-06","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Veritas Backup Exec Agent Command Execution","id":"CVE-2021-27878","kev_date_added":"2023-04-07","published":"2021-03-01"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Veritas Backup Exec Agent Improper Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-27877","kev_date_added":"2023-04-07","published":"2021-03-01"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Veritas Backup Exec Agent File Access","id":"CVE-2021-27876","kev_date_added":"2023-04-07","published":"2021-03-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-33673","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-26"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-33671","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-26"}],"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":"A low-privileged user can create a malicious OpenSSL configuration file to achieve arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM during service startup.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36167/"}
