CVE-2020-7774· NVD / CVE Program· CNA snyk

The package y18n before 3.2.2, 4.0.1 and 5.0.5, is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 60/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 69.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.3% 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: nodejs-nodemon (AlmaLinux:8) 1.18.3-1.module_el8.3.0+2047+b07ac28e, 1.18.3-1.module_el8.3.0+2023+d2377ea3, 2.0.3-1.module_el8.4.0+2521+c668cc9f; nodejs-packaging (AlmaLinux:8) 23-3.module_el8.4.0+2522+3bd42762, 17-3.module_el8.4.0+2224+b07ac28e, 17-3.module_el8.4.0+2521+c668cc9f; nodejs (Alpine:v3.10) 10.24.1-r0.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.3, NVD 9.8.
  • Mentioned 4 times in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to nodejs-nodemon (AlmaLinux:8) 1.18.3-1.module_el8.3.0+2047+b07ac28e, 1.18.3-1.module_el8.3.0+2023+d2377ea3, 2.0.3-1.module_el8.4.0+2521+c668cc9f; nodejs-packaging (AlmaLinux:8) 23-3.module_el8.4.0+2522+3bd42762, 17-3.module_el8.4.0+2224+b07ac28e, 17-3.module_el8.4.0+2521+c668cc9f; nodejs (Alpine:v3.10) 10.24.1-r0 or later.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
