Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-4888 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Qradar Security Information and Event 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-2020-4888/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4888/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-4888","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4888/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-4888","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q3rg-74f5-f285"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM QRadar SIEM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands on IBM QRadar SIEM systems by sending malicious serialized Java objects due to insecure deserialization.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"qradar_security_information_and_event_manager","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/I:L/AC:L/C:L/S:U/UI:N/A:L/AV:N/PR:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"IBM QRadar SIEM 7.4.0 to 7.4.2 Patch 1 and 7.3.0 to 7.3.3 Patch 7 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by insecure deserialization of user-supplied content by the Java deserialization function.
