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-2020-6656 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Eaton easySoft 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-2020-6656/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6656/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-6656","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-6656/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-6656","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3vf9-hrcp-mj3p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Eaton easySoft software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code or crash the application by tricking users into opening a malformed E70 file in Eaton easySoft.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Eaton","cpe":[{"product":"easysoft","vendor":"eaton"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-843","name":"Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Eaton's easySoft software v7.xx prior to v7.22 are susceptible to file parsing type confusion remote code execution vulnerability.
