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-2023-20084 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Secure Endpoint. 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-2023-20084/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20084/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20084","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20084/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20084","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cc7p-25jw-497j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco Secure Endpoint","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can bypass endpoint protection by exploiting a timing issue to prevent file quarantine or process termination.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"secure_endpoint","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"secure_endpoint_private_cloud","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-437","name":"Incomplete Model of Endpoint Features"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the endpoint software of Cisco Secure Endpoint for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to evade endpoint protection within a limited time window. This vulnerability is due to a timing issue that occurs between various software components. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to put a malicious file into a specific folder and then persuading the user to execute the file within a limited time window. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the endpoint software to fail to quarantine the malicious file or kill its process. Note: This vulnerability only applies to deployments that have the Windows Folder Redirection feature enabled.","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":"Race condition in Cisco Secure Endpoint","id":"CVE-2023-20084","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Cisco Identity Services Engine Software","id":"CVE-2023-20085"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software","id":"CVE-2023-20083"},"products":["Cisco Secure Endpoint"],"published":"2023-11-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Cisco Secure Endpoint","id":"CVE-2023-20032","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-16"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"ClamAV CHM File Parsing Denial of Service Vulnerability Affecting Cisco Products: April 2022","id":"CVE-2022-20770","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"ClamAV XAR File Format Processing Memory Corruption Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-20348","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"ClamAV PE File Format Processing Out-of-Bounds Memory Corruption Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-20213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"ClamAV FSG File Format Processing Out-of-Bounds Memory Corruption Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-20214","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"ClamAV 7Zip File Format Processing Out-of-Bounds Memory Corruption Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-20215","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"ClamAV InstallShield File Format Processing Resource Exhaustion Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-20216","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-01"}],"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":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"A local attacker can bypass endpoint protection by exploiting a timing issue to prevent file quarantine or process termination.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20084/"}
