It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2020-8469 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-8469 is a high-severity vulnerability in Trend Micro Password Manager for Windows, published on 12 Mar 2020. 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-2020-8469 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Trend Micro Password Manager for Windows. 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-2020-8469/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8469/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8469","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8469/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8469","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hfw3-pg3p-3f2x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Password Manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can achieve privilege escalation via DLL hijacking in Trend Micro Password Manager for Windows.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trendmicro","cpe":[{"product":"password_manager","vendor":"trendmicro"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Trend Micro Password Manager for Windows version 5.0 is affected by a DLL hijacking vulnerability would could potentially allow an attacker privleged escalation.","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":"Privilege escalation in Trend Micro Password Manager for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-8469","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in Trend Micro OfficeScan, Trend Micro Apex One, Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security (WFBS)","id":"CVE-2020-8470"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Trend Micro Multiple Products Content Validation Escape","id":"CVE-2020-8468"},"products":["Trend Micro Password Manager for Windows"],"published":"2020-03-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3987","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-04-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Trend Micro Password Manager","id":"CVE-2021-32462","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Trend Micro Password Manager","id":"CVE-2025-52837","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in Trend Micro Password Manager","id":"CVE-2022-28394","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Trend Micro Password Manager","id":"CVE-2022-30523","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-16"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Trend Micro Password Manager","id":"CVE-2022-26337","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in Trend Micro Password Manager","id":"CVE-2021-32461","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-08"}],"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":["Trend Micro"]},"summary":"An attacker can achieve privilege escalation via DLL hijacking in Trend Micro Password Manager for Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8469/"}
