An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-2990 exists.\n\nAffected product: Fortra Globalscape EFT. 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-2023-2990/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2990/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2990","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2990/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2990","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hcg7-gqc4-qc5q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Managed File Transfer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can crash the Globalscape EFT Administration Server by sending a specially crafted compressed message that causes infinite recursion.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"rapid7","cpe":[{"product":"eft_server","vendor":"globalscape"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-674","name":"Uncontrolled Recursion"},{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"Fortra Globalscape EFT versions before 8.1.0.16 suffer from a denial of service vulnerability, where a compressed message that decompresses to itself can cause infinite recursion and crash the service","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Fortra Globalscape Administration Server Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2023-2990","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Fortra Globalscape Administration Server Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-2991"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Fortra Globalscape Administration Server Out of Bounds Memory Read","id":"CVE-2023-2989"},"products":["Globalscape EFT"],"published":"2023-06-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Fortra Globalscape Administration Server Out of Bounds Memory Read","id":"CVE-2023-2989","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-22"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Fortra Globalscape Administration Server Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-2991","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-22"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-12-04","vendors":["Fortra"]},"summary":"An attacker can crash the Globalscape EFT Administration Server by sending a specially crafted compressed message that causes infinite recursion.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2990/"}
