An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-8241 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Pulse Secure Dektop Client. 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-2020-8241/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8241/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8241","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8241/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8241","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mfw6-89c3-f897"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Pulse Secure Desktop Client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks if users connect to malicious servers, requiring client upgrades to mitigate.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"pulse_secure_desktop_client","vendor":"pulsesecure"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"A vulnerability in the Pulse Secure Desktop Client \u003c 9.1R9 could allow the attacker to perform a MITM Attack if end users are convinced to connect to a malicious server.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2020-10-25","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":24,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2020-10-25T15:58:02Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/withdk/pulse-secure-vpn-mitm-research","stars":24,"title":"Pulse Secure VPN mitm Research - CVE-2020-8241, CVE-2020-8239"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Other in Pulse Secure Dektop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8241","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in ExpressionEngine","id":"CVE-2020-8242"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8240"},"products":["Pulse Secure Dektop Client"],"published":"2020-10-28","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Cient","id":"CVE-2020-8239","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8240","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8249","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-15865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-06"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks if users connect to malicious servers, requiring client upgrades to mitigate.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8241/"}
