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-2020-5822 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Endpoint Protection. 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-2020-5822/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5822/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5822","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5822/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5822","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4fcv-7chp-hhc5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Protection","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit this vulnerability in Symantec Endpoint Protection to gain elevated access to protected system resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_protection","vendor":"symantec"}],"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":"Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE), prior to 14.2 RU2 MP1 and prior to 14.2.5569.2100 respectively, may be susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker may attempt to compromise the software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an application or user.","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":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5822","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"symantec:endpoint_protection","products":["symantec:endpoint_protection"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5823"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5821"},"products":["Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)"],"published":"2020-02-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0295","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2018-5237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2020-5836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2020-5837","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5820","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5821","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"}],"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":"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 exploit this vulnerability in Symantec Endpoint Protection to gain elevated access to protected system resources.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5822/"}
