CVE-2020-16933
HighSummary
W programie Microsoft Word występuje luka w zabezpieczeniach, która pozwala na obejście funkcji zabezpieczeń związanych z obsługą plików .LNK. Atakujący, który skutecznie wykorzysta tę lukę, może użyć specjalnie przygotowanego pliku do działania w kontekście zabezpieczeń aktualnego użytkownika.
Risk Assessment
Luka ta może prowadzić do nieautoryzowanego działania w imieniu zalogowanego użytkownika, co stwarza poważne zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa organizacji. Użytkownicy mogą być narażeni na ataki phishingowe lub złośliwe oprogramowanie, jeśli otworzą zainfekowane pliki.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację oprogramowania Microsoft Word do najnowszej wersji oraz edukację użytkowników na temat ryzyk związanych z otwieraniem nieznanych plików. Warto również wdrożyć filtry antywirusowe i zabezpieczenia poczty elektronicznej, aby zminimalizować ryzyko ataków.

iperf3 3.20–3.21 (esnet/iperf) has a pre-auth heap buffer overflow in decrypt_rsa_message(): a 256-byte RSA buffer is BIO_read with the attacker-controlled ciphertext length (guard warns only), so an unauthenticated client overflows the heap via an oversized authtoken; fixed in 3.22
- CVE-2026-102149Critical
Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway did not sufficiently restrict which account a certificate could be assigned to. This could allow an attacker to associate a certificate with another user's account, affecting the confidentiality and integrity of that account's encrypted mail and, where certificate-based login is enabled, potentially permitting unauthorized access to the account.
- CVE-2026-102147Critical
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) weakness in Kiteworks Core could allow an unauthenticated attacker to store crafted content that later executes arbitrary JavaScript in the authenticated session of an administrator who views the affected page. This could have permitted the attacker to gain full administrative control, including the creation of a new administrative account.
- CVE-2026-102115Critical
Kiteworks Core did not correctly validate a parameter submitted to the password reset workflow. An unauthenticated attacker who knew the email address of a user with a locally stored password could potentially reset that account's password without access to the emailed reset link and then authenticate as that user, including where the account holds administrative privileges.
- CVE-2026-102106Critical
Improper authentication in a Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway administrative service. An administrative service in Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway did not consistently enforce administrator authentication, so the required password check could be bypassed. An attacker who referenced a valid administrator account could potentially create, modify, or delete internal users and managed domains and change their security-feature configuration without authenticating; deleting a managed domain also removes its user accounts and could lock administrators out of the gateway.
- CVE-2026-102105Critical
Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can induce the gateway to issue crafted requests to internal or unintended network destinations while the gateway renders message content referencing external resources. This could disclose sensitive internal information or trigger unintended actions on internal systems.
- CVE-2026-102104Critical
Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can induce the gateway to issue crafted requests to internal or unintended network destinations while the gateway performs an online certificate status check for an inbound message. This could disclose sensitive internal information or disrupt gateway operation.
- CVE-2026-102103Critical
Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can induce the gateway to issue crafted requests to internal or unintended network destinations while the gateway retrieves a certificate revocation list in an inbound message. This could disclose sensitive internal information or disrupt gateway operation.
- CVE-2026-102102Critical
Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can induce the gateway to issue crafted requests to internal or unintended network destinations while the gateway retrieves an issuer certificate in an inbound message. This could disclose sensitive internal information or disrupt gateway operation.
- CVE-2026-102095Critical
Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery. The gateway performed server-side fetches of URLs contained in the message content it processed, without adequately restricting the fetch destination. A remote, unauthenticated sender could craft a message that caused the gateway to issue requests to internal services and cloud instance metadata endpoints and return the responses, potentially disclosing sensitive internal data and, depending on the internal service reached, affecting its state.
Original NVD description (English source)
<p>A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word software when it fails to properly handle .LNK files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a specially crafted file to perform actions in the security context of the current user. For example, the file could then take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the same permissions as the current user.</p> <p>To exploit the vulnerability, a user must open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Word software. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the
