An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-5023 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. 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-2020-5023/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5023/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5023","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5023/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5023","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f7jw-wp22-5cv8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary data to cause resource exhaustion and crash the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"spectrum_protect_plus","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/PR:N/I:N/C:N/A:H/AC:L/UI:N/S:U/AV:N/RC:C/RL:O/E:U","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.0 through 10.1.7 could allow a remote user to inject arbitrary data iwhich could cause the serivce to crash due to excess resource consumption.
