An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-8173 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Nextcloud Nextcloud Server. 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-2020-8173/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8173/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8173","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8173/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8173","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v9r7-gccq-cp4v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nextcloud Server","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Weak random character set in Nextcloud Server encryption allows attackers to decrypt data faster than intended.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"nextcloud_server","vendor":"nextcloud"}],"cvss":{"score":2.2,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-311","name":"Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data"},{"id":"CWE-310","name":null}],"description":"A too small set of random characters being used for encryption in Nextcloud Server 18.0.4 allowed decryption in shorter time than intended.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Weak cryptography in Nextcloud Server","id":"CVE-2020-8173","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nextcloud:nextcloud_server","products":["nextcloud:nextcloud_server"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in https://github.com/nodejs/node","id":"CVE-2020-8174"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in https://github.com/nodejs/node","id":"CVE-2020-8172"},"products":["Nextcloud Server"],"published":"2020-10-30","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Preview generation used third-party library not suited for user-generated content in Nextcloud server","id":"CVE-2021-32802","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-07"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Scope of workflow operations is not validated in nextcloud server","id":"CVE-2023-26482","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Nextcloud Server","id":"CVE-2018-3775","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-12"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Nextcloud Server password reset endpoint is not brute force protected","id":"CVE-2023-35172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-23"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Nextcloud Server's brute force protection allows someone to send more requests than intended","id":"CVE-2023-32320","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-22"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Trusted servers exchange can be triggered by attacker","id":"CVE-2021-32656","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-01"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Nextcloud Server users can make external storage mount points inaccessible for other users","id":"CVE-2023-48239","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-21"}],"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":"Weak random character set in Nextcloud Server encryption allows attackers to decrypt data faster than intended.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8173/"}
