PALLET CONTROL, published on 11 May 2020. 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-2020-5538 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: JAL Information Technology Co., Ltd. PALLET CONTROL. 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-2020-5538/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5538/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5538","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5538/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5538","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rfwm-pmjm-jff2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PALLET CONTROL software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on computers running PALLET CONTROL, requiring an upgrade to secure versions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"pallet_control","vendor":"jalinfotec"}],"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":[],"description":"Improper Access Control in PALLET CONTROL Ver. 6.3 and earlier allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code with the SYSTEM privilege on the computer where PALLET CONTROL is installed via unspecified vectors.
