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-2020-5148 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SonicWall Directory Services Connector. 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-2020-5148/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5148/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5148","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5148/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5148","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6q6g-vf9m-7mj7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SonicWall SSO Agent","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can capture privileged user password hashes via NetAPI probing to bypass firewall access controls in SonicWall SSO Agent.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sonicwall","cpe":[{"product":"directory_services_connector","vendor":"sonicwall"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"SonicWall SSO-agent default configuration uses NetAPI to probe the associated IP's in the network, this client probing method allows a potential attacker to capture the password hash of the privileged user and potentially forces the SSO Agent to authenticate allowing an attacker to bypass firewall access controls.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-07-25","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-07-25T07:33:26Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/l0lsec/CVE-2020-5148","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2020-5148 - Forced Authentication in the SonicWall UTM SSO Agent.
