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-2020-5524 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NEC Corporation Aterm series. 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-2020-5524/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5524/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5524","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5524/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5524","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-48x3-vgp6-cxw2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NEC Aterm router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker on the same network can execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges via the UPnP function in NEC Aterm routers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"aterm_wf1200c_firmware","vendor":"nec"},{"product":"aterm_wg1200cr_firmware","vendor":"nec"},{"product":"aterm_wg2600hs_firmware","vendor":"nec"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"Aterm series (Aterm WF1200C firmware Ver1.2.1 and earlier, Aterm WG1200CR firmware Ver1.2.1 and earlier, Aterm WG2600HS firmware Ver1.3.2 and earlier) allows an attacker on the same network segment to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges via UPnP function.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Command injection in Aterm series","id":"CVE-2020-5524","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in Aterm series","id":"CVE-2020-5525"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in 'MyPallete' and some of the Android banking applications that use 'MyPallete'","id":"CVE-2020-5523"},"products":["Aterm series"],"published":"2020-02-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Command injection in Aterm series","id":"CVE-2020-5525","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":["NEC Corporation"]},"summary":"An attacker on the same network can execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges via the UPnP function in NEC Aterm routers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5524/"}
