It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-4885 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Db2. 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-2020-4885/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4885/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-4885","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4885/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-4885","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2mm4-wmfr-3ffm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Db2 database","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can exploit a symbolic link race condition to access and modify Db2 configuration, potentially escalating privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"db2","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/PR:N/AC:L/S:U/C:N/UI:N/A:N/I:H/RC:C/E:U/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"IBM Db2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes Db2 Connect Server) 11.5 could allow a local user to access and change the configuration of Db2 due to a race condition of a symbolic link,.
