An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-8169 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2020-8169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8169/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8169","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2020-8169","CLEANSTART-2026-QT94099","CURL-CVE-2020-8169","DEBIAN-CVE-2020-8169","ECHO-8c09-3ac9-759b","GHSA-whwh-vhp2-pj62","JLSEC-2026-1330","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-8169"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"curl library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can leak partial passwords over the network and to DNS servers via a vulnerability in the curl library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"curl","vendor":"haxx"},{"product":"simatic_tim_1531_irc_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"sinec_infrastructure_network_services","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"universal_forwarder","vendor":"splunk"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"curl 7.62.0 through 7.70.0 is vulnerable to an information disclosure vulnerability that can lead to a partial password being leaked over the network and to the DNS server(s).","ecosystems":[],"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":"Information disclosure in https://github.com/curl/curl","id":"CVE-2020-8169","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","haxx:curl","siemens:sinec_infrastructure_network_services","splunk:universal_forwarder"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in AirMax AirOS for TI, XW and XM boards","id":"CVE-2020-8170"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in AirMax AirOS for TI, XW and XM boards","id":"CVE-2020-8168"},"products":["https://github.com/curl/curl"],"published":"2020-12-14","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"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":"2026-10-14","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can leak partial passwords over the network and to DNS servers via a vulnerability in the curl library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8169/"}
