An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-36254 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-2020-36254/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36254/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-36254","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36254/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-36254","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2020-36254","DEBIAN-CVE-2020-36254","GHSA-36m7-j2mr-5864","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-36254"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dropbear SSH server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Dropbear SSH server mishandles specific filenames, allowing attackers to potentially read or modify files outside intended directories.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dropbear_ssh","vendor":"dropbear_ssh_project"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"scp.c in Dropbear before 2020.79 mishandles the filename of . or an empty filename, a related issue to CVE-2018-20685.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36254","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36255"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36252"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-02-25","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7406","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7407","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7408","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1099","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2486","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-10-25"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3116","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-03-22"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-12-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Dropbear SSH server mishandles specific filenames, allowing attackers to potentially read or modify files outside intended directories.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36254/"}
