{"answers":{"affected":"3 open source packages ship an affected version, including tuf. It affects 1 product.","exploited":"There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-6173 in the wild and no public exploit code.","fix":"Upgrade tuf to 0.12.2 or later.","what":"CVE-2020-6173 is a medium-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 14 Jan 2020."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2020-6173 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-6173 is a medium-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 14 Jan 2020. \nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-6173 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- tuf (PyPI): affected from 0.7.2; fixed in 0.12.2\n- tuf (PyPI): affected from 0.7.2; fixed in 0.12.2\n- tuf (PyPI): affected from 0.7.5; fixed in 0.12.2\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-2020-6173/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6173/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-6173","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6173/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-6173","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2828-9vh6-9m6j","PYSEC-2020-146"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"the_update_framework","vendor":"linuxfoundation"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"TUF (aka The Update Framework) 0.7.2 through 0.12.1 allows Uncontrolled Resource Consumption.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Client Denial of Service on TUF","id":"CVE-2020-6173","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2020"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Incorrect threshold signature computation in TUF","id":"CVE-2020-6174"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.12.2"],"introduced":["0.7.2"],"last_affected":[],"package":"tuf","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2828-9vh6-9m6j"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.12.2"],"introduced":["0.7.2"],"last_affected":[],"package":"tuf","purl":"pkg:pypi/tuf","source":"GHSA-2828-9vh6-9m6j"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.12.2"],"introduced":["0.7.5"],"last_affected":[],"package":"tuf","purl":"pkg:pypi/tuf","source":"PYSEC-2020-146"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-6171"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-01-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Incorrect threshold signature computation in TUF","id":"CVE-2020-6174","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-05"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Invalid root may become trusted root in The Update Framework (TUF)","id":"CVE-2020-15163","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Client metadata path-traversal in python-tuf","id":"CVE-2021-41131","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6173/"}
