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-2020-5131 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SonicWall NetExtender. 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-2020-5131/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5131/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5131","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5131/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5131","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cw48-h2hv-c97j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SonicWall NetExtender client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can overwrite a DLL to execute arbitrary code with host privileges via an arbitrary file write vulnerability in the SonicWall NetExtender Windows client.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sonicwall","cpe":[{"product":"netextender","vendor":"sonicwall"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"SonicWall NetExtender Windows client vulnerable to arbitrary file write vulnerability, this allows attacker to overwrite a DLL and execute code with the same privilege in the host operating system.
