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-2020-6024 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Check Point SmartConsole. 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-2020-6024/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6024/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-6024","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6024/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-6024","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xq8r-6v6q-5jcf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Check Point SmartConsole","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting write access to the executable directory in Check Point SmartConsole.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"checkpoint","cpe":[{"product":"smartconsole","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-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"},{"id":"CWE-114","name":"Process Control"}],"description":"Check Point SmartConsole before R80.10 Build 185, R80.20 Build 119, R80.30 before Build 94, R80.40 before Build 415, and R81 before Build 548 were vulnerable to a possible local privilege escalation due to running executables from a directory with write access to all authenticated users.","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 Check Point SmartConsole","id":"CVE-2020-6024","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Mini-SNMPD","id":"CVE-2020-6058"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Check Point ZoneAlarm","id":"CVE-2020-6023"},"products":["Check Point SmartConsole"],"published":"2021-01-20","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"DLL-HiJacking","id":"CVE-2024-24916","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-19"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"SmartConsole Sensitive Credential Exposure via Memory Dump","id":"CVE-2024-24915","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-29"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting write access to the executable directory in Check Point SmartConsole.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6024/"}
