CVE-2020-7381
Last modified
CVE-2020-7381 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In Rapid7 Nexpose installer versions prior to 6.6.40, the Nexpose installer calls an executable which can be placed in the appropriate directory by an attacker with access to the local machine. This would prevent the installer from distinguishing between a valid executable called during a Security Console installation and any arbitrary code executable using the same file name.. EPSS estimates a 0.68% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
