Malware Remover, published on 13 May 2021. 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-2020-36198 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: QNAP Systems Inc. Malware Remover. 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-2020-36198/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36198/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-36198","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36198/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-36198","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7wxf-2j8p-f3hw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"QNAP Malware Remover","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands on QNAP devices via a command injection flaw in the Malware Remover application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"qnap","cpe":[{"product":"malware_remover","vendor":"qnap"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"},{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"A command injection vulnerability has been reported to affect certain versions of Malware Remover.
