It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2020-5977 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-5977 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software, published on 23 Oct 2020. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-5977 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software. 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-2020-5977/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5977/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5977","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5977/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5977","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v897-68g7-4mw4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation","denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA GeForce Experience","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An uncontrolled search path in the NVIDIA Web Helper allows attackers to load malicious modules, leading to code execution and privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"geforce_experience","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"NVIDIA GeForce Experience, all versions prior to 3.20.5.70, contains a vulnerability in NVIDIA Web Helper NodeJS Web Server in which an uncontrolled search path is used to load a node module, which may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, and information disclosure.","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":"Path traversal in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5977","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5978"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in NVIDIA GeForce NOW Application","id":"CVE-2020-5976"},"products":["NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software"],"published":"2020-10-23","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2017-6250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Quadro, NVS, and GeForce (all versions)","id":"CVE-2016-8812","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-08"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2021-1073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Path traversal in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2022-42291","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-07"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Missing authorization in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2021-23175","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-23"}],"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":["NVIDIA"]},"summary":"An uncontrolled search path in the NVIDIA Web Helper allows attackers to load malicious modules, leading to code execution and privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5977/"}
