It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-37031 exists.\n\nAffected product: Ashkon Software Simple Startup Manager. 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-2020-37031/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-37031/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-37031","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-37031/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-37031","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5qx9-7gxr-8h58"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Startup Manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code locally by exploiting a buffer overflow in the File input parameter of Simple Startup Manager.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"Simple Startup Manager 1.17 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by overwriting memory through the 'File' input parameter.
