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-2020-7252 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee, LLC Data Exchange Layer (DXL) Broker. 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-2020-7252/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7252/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-7252","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7252/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-7252","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-432g-39xc-whrc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee DXL Broker","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute malicious code and escalate privileges by exploiting unquoted service paths in McAfee DXL Broker.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"data_exchange_layer","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":4.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"},{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"Unquoted service executable path in DXL Broker in McAfee Data eXchange Layer (DXL) Framework 6.0.0 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service and malicious file execution via carefully crafted and named executable files.","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":"Unquoted service executable path","id":"CVE-2020-7252","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":"Improper access control vulnerability in McAfee Agent","id":"CVE-2020-7253"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ESConfig Tool able to edit configuration for newer version","id":"CVE-2020-7251"},"products":["Data Exchange Layer (DXL) Broker"],"published":"2020-02-17","related":[{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Information disclosure vulnerability in McAfee TIE Server and DXL Platform","id":"CVE-2019-3612","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-10"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"DXL Broker privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-2188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-07"}],"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":["McAfee, LLC"]},"summary":"Local attackers can execute malicious code and escalate privileges by exploiting unquoted service paths in McAfee DXL Broker.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7252/"}
