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-2020-6021 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows. 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-2020-6021/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6021/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-6021","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6021/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-6021","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p633-7rgq-3w9f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Security Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges by placing a malicious DLL in the repair directory, which executes with elevated privileges during installation repair.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"checkpoint","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"checkpoint"}],"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":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows before version E84.20 allows write access to the directory from which the installation repair takes place.
