An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-4840 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Security Secret Server. 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-2020-4840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-4840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4840/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-4840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wggc-wwp7-29vw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Security Secret Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can exploit an open redirect in IBM Security Secret Server to spoof URLs and phish sensitive user information.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"open_redirect"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"security_secret_server","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/I:N/UI:R/A:N/PR:N/C:H/S:C/AC:L/AV:N/RC:C/E:U/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-601","name":"URL Redirection to Untrusted Site"}],"description":"IBM Security Secret Server 10.6 could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks, using an open redirect attack.
