An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-36878 exists.\n\nAffected product: ReQuest Serious Play Media Player. 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-2020-36878/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36878/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-36878","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-36878/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-36878","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hw9g-6q6h-x6rm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Media Player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can exploit a directory traversal flaw in the ReQuest Serious Play Media Player to disclose contents of local files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"ReQuest Serious Play Media Player 3.0 contains an unauthenticated file disclosure vulnerability when input passed through the 'file' parameter in and script is not properly verified before being used to read web log files.
