An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-4993 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-2020-4993/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4993/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-4993","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4993/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-4993","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m7qr-8828-2fm9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM QRadar SIEM","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit path traversal in IBM QRadar SIEM during zip file processing to read or modify arbitrary files on the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"qradar_security_information_and_event_manager","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/C:N/PR:H/AV:N/UI:N/AC:L/A:N/S:U/I:H/RC:C/RL:O/E:U","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"IBM QRadar SIEM 7.3 and 7.4 when decompressing or verifying signature of zip files processes data in a way that may be vulnerable to path traversal attacks.
