Kept up to date as the evidence changes. - **Severity:** Medium (CVSS 6.7 out of 10) - **Known to be exploited:** No, not on the list of flaws known to be exploited today - **Chance of use in the next 30 days:** 0.4% (latest exploit-likelihood forecast) - **Published:** 30 July 2020 - **Record last updated:** 21 July 2021 - **Main product:** Intelligent Provisioning from HPE - **Affected products:** 118 ## What is CVE-2020-7205? In plain terms An attacker has to be already on the device with an administrator account, and nobody has to click anything. If it works, the attacker can read data, change data and take it offline. ### The official description A potential security vulnerability has been identified in HPE Intelligent Provisioning, Service Pack for ProLiant, and HPE Scripting ToolKit. The vulnerability could be locally exploited to allow arbitrary code execution during the boot process. **Note:** This vulnerability is related to using insmod in GRUB2 in the specific impacted HPE product and HPE is addressing this issue. HPE has made the following software updates and mitigation information to resolve the vulnerability in Intelligent Provisioning, Service Pack for ProLiant, and HPE Scripting ToolKit. HPE provided latest Intelligent Provisioning, Service Pack for ProLiant, and HPE Scripting Toolkit which includes the GRUB2 patch to resolve this vulnerability. These new boot images will update GRUB2 and the Forbidden Signature Database (DBX). After the DBX is updated, users will not be able to boot to the older IP, SPP or Scripting ToolKit with Secure Boot enabled. HPE have provided a standalone DBX update tool to work with Microsoft Windows, and supported Linux Operating Systems. These tools can be used to update the Forbidden Signature Database (DBX) from within the OS. **Note:** This DBX update mitigates the GRUB2 issue with insmod enabled, and the "Boot Hole" issue for HPE signed GRUB2 applications. ### What kind of flaw is it? - Unknown: Unknown ### How an attack on it works - Where an attacker can be: Already on the device - How hard it is to pull off: Easy: no special conditions - Login needed first: An administrator account - Does someone have to click: No, nobody has to do anything - What an attacker gets: Can read data, change data and take it offline Severity vector: `CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H` ## Is CVE-2020-7205 being exploited? Not that we know of It is not on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. The latest forecast puts the chance of it being used in the next 30 days at 0.4%. That can change at any time, which is why we keep watching. Exploit likelihood over the last 7 days: 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.4%. ### Timeline - 30 July 2020: Published - 21 July 2021: Record last updated ### How Precursor Intelligence ranks it CVE-2020-7205 scores **23 out of 100 (Low)**, with the action "Monitor". Every published flaw gets a risk score from 0 to 100, kept up to date as the evidence changes. Four things go into the score, from the one that counts most to the ones that count less: - Evidence it is being exploited: biggest factor - How severe it is: strong factor - How widely exposed it is: smaller factor - Threat activity around it: smaller factor 85 and above is Critical. Anything confirmed as exploited is always marked for an emergency patch, whatever its score. When this flaw matches software you track, it lands in your list with its score and the reasons behind it. ## Who is affected by CVE-2020-7205? The published record lists 118 products.
