An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-5502 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- phpbb/phpbb (Packagist): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.9\n- phpbb/phpbb (Packagist): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.9\n- phpbb (Bitnami): affected from 3.2.8 up to 3.2.8; no fix listed\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-2020-5502/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5502/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5502","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5502/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5502","record":{"aliases":["BIT-phpbb-2020-5502","GHSA-69q7-hww4-8pjq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"phpBB forum software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trick users into approving pending group memberships, potentially granting unauthorized access to restricted groups.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"phpbb","vendor":"phpbb"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"phpBB 3.2.8 allows a CSRF attack that can approve pending group memberships.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","Packagist"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"phpBB allows CSRF","id":"CVE-2020-5502","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2020"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"phpMyAdmin SQL injection in user accounts page","id":"CVE-2020-5504"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":[],"introduced":["3.2.8"],"last_affected":["3.2.8"],"package":"phpbb","purl":"pkg:bitnami/phpbb","source":"BIT-phpbb-2020-5502"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["3.2.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpbb/phpbb","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-69q7-hww4-8pjq"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["3.2.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpbb/phpbb","purl":"pkg:composer/phpbb/phpbb","source":"GHSA-69q7-hww4-8pjq"}],"prev":{"headline":"phpBB Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2020-5501"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-01-14","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3224","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in phpBB before 3.0.1 have unknown impact and attack vectors, related to \"two minor security-related bu","id":"CVE-2008-1766","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-70810","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1471","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-04-21"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"phpBB has Password Reset Link Poisoning via Host Header injection","id":"CVE-2026-29199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"phpBB arbitrary CSS injection","id":"CVE-2019-16108","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"phpBB Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2019-9826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick users into approving pending group memberships, potentially granting unauthorized access to restricted groups.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5502/"}
