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-2020-8279 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Nextcloud Social. 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-2020-8279/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8279/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8279","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8279/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8279","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7f2c-fj5r-9f75"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nextcloud Social plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Missing certificate validation in Nextcloud Social allows man-in-the-middle attacks, enabling interception of outgoing connection data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"social","vendor":"nextcloud"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"Missing validation of server certificates for out-going connections in Nextcloud Social \u003c 0.4.0 allowed a man-in-the-middle attack.","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":"Security feature bypass in Nextcloud Social","id":"CVE-2020-8279","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Nextcloud Contacts","id":"CVE-2020-8280"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Nextcloud Social","id":"CVE-2020-8278"},"products":["Nextcloud Social"],"published":"2020-11-19","related":[{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Missing authorization in Nextcloud Social","id":"CVE-2020-8278","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-19"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Missing certificate validation in Nextcloud Social allows man-in-the-middle attacks, enabling interception of outgoing connection data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8279/"}
