It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-8472 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ABB Base Software for SoftControl. 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-2020-8472/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8472/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8472","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8472/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8472","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8mqc-2jhr-7v56"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ABB System 800xA","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Low-privileged users can read, modify, or delete system files in ABB System 800xA products, leading to privilege escalation and application corruption.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ABB","cpe":[{"product":"base_software","vendor":"abb"},{"product":"control_builder_m","vendor":"abb"},{"product":"mms_server","vendor":"abb"},{"product":"opc_server","vendor":"abb"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"Insufficient folder permissions used by system functions in ABB System 800xA products OPCServer for AC800M (versions 6.0 and earlier) and Control Builder M Professional, MMSServer for AC800M, Base Software for SoftControl (version 6.1 and earlier) allow low privileged users to read, modify, add and delete system and application files.
