Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-4325 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Automation Workstream Services in Cloud Pak for Automation. 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-2020-4325/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4325/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-4325","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4325/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-4325","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f726-9xgv-wf6h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Process Federation Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Extensive use of the Global Teams REST API causes memory leaks leading to OutOfMemory exceptions and service denial.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_pak_for_automation","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"process_federation_server","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/C:N/S:U/A:H/PR:L/I:N/AV:N/AC:L/UI:N/RC:C/E:U/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-404","name":"Improper Resource Shutdown or Release"}],"description":"The IBM Process Federation Server 18.0.0.1, 18.0.0.2, 19.0.0.1, 19.0.0.2, and 19.0.0.3 Global Teams REST API does not properly shutdown the thread pools that it creates to retrieve Global Teams information from the federated systems.
