CVE-2020-1866: There is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in several products. The software reads data past the end of the intended buffer when parsing certain crafted DHCP messages. Successful exploit could cause certain service abnormal. Affected product versions include:NIP6800 versions V500R001C30,V500R001C60SPC500,V500R005C00;S12700 versions V200R008C00;S2700 versions V200R008C00;S5700 versions V200R008C00;S6700 versions V200R008C00;S7700 versions V200R008C00;S9700 versions V200R008C00;Secospace USG6600 versions V500R001C30SPC200,V500R001C30SPC600,V500R001C60SPC500,V500R005C00;USG9500 versions V500R001C30SPC300,V500R001C30SPC600,V500R001C60SPC500,V500R005C00.
The exploitability of CVE-2020-1866 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2020-1866 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2020-1866, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2020-1866, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
The EPSS score estimates the probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the near future.
EPSS Score: 0.06% (probability of exploit)
EPSS Percentile: 28.46%
(lower percentile = lower relative risk)
