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-2020-36169 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Veritas Netbackup. 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-2020-36169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-36169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36169/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-36169","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-35j5-3cvj-g2x4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Veritas NetBackup","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Low-privileged users can execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM by placing malicious libraries in default Windows paths used by Veritas NetBackup.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"netbackup","vendor":"veritas"},{"product":"opscenter","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":[],"description":"An issue was discovered in Veritas NetBackup through 8.3.0.1 and OpsCenter through 8.3.0.1. Processes using OpenSSL attempt to load and execute libraries from paths that do not exist by default on the Windows operating system. By default, on Windows systems, users can create directories under the top level of any drive. If a low privileged user creates an affected path with a library that the Veritas product attempts to load, they can execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM or Administrator. This gives the attacker administrator access on the system, allowing the attacker (by default) to access all data, access all installed applications, etc. This vulnerability affects master servers, media servers, clients, and OpsCenter servers on the Windows platform. The system is vulnerable during an install or upgrade and post-install during normal operations.","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-2020-36169","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"veritas:netbackup","products":["veritas:netbackup"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36170"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36168"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-01-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36954","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-28222","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36950","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36951","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8857","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8858","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-09"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Low-privileged users can execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM by placing malicious libraries in default Windows paths used by Veritas NetBackup.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36169/"}
