CVE-2020-15227: Remote Code Execution vulnerability

CriticalCVSS 9.8 · v3.1—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 49/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 34.4% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.4% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: php-nette (Debian:9) 2.4-20160731-1+deb9u1; nette/application (Packagist) 2.0.19, 2.1.13, 2.2.10.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to php-nette (Debian:9) 2.4-20160731-1+deb9u1; nette/application (Packagist) 2.0.19, 2.1.13, 2.2.10 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Nette versions before 2.0.19, 2.1.13, 2.2.10, 2.3.14, 2.4.16, 3.0.6 are vulnerable to an code injection attack by passing specially formed parameters to URL that may possibly leading to RCE. Nette is a PHP/Composer MVC Framework.
