Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-8494 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2020-8494/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8494/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8494","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8494/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8494","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wm5j-9gpp-rpj9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Web Time Attendance","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with specific roles can escalate to administrative privileges by manipulating parameters in the editUser servlet.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"web_time_and_attendance","vendor":"kronos"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AC:H/AV:N/A:H/C:H/I:H/PR:L/S:U/UI:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"In Kronos Web Time and Attendance (webTA) 3.8.x and later 3.x versions before 4.0, the com.threeis.webta.H402editUser servlet allows an attacker with Timekeeper, Master Timekeeper, or HR Admin privileges to gain unauthorized administrative privileges within the application via the emp_id, userid, pw1, pw2, supervisor, and timekeeper parameters.","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 n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8494","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8495"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8493"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-01-30","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35604","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-21"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8495","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-30"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-30"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8496","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-30"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-14982","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-15"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users with specific roles can escalate to administrative privileges by manipulating parameters in the editUser servlet.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8494/"}
