CVE-2020-12880
Detail
Modified This CVE record has been updated after NVD enrichment efforts were completed. Enrichment data supplied by the NVD may require amendment due to these changes.
Description
An issue was discovered in Pulse Policy Secure (PPS) and Pulse Connect Secure (PCS) Virtual Appliance before 9.1R8. By manipulating a certain kernel boot parameter, it can be tricked into dropping into a root shell in a pre-install phase where the entire source code of the appliance is available and can be retrieved. (The source code is otherwise inaccessible because the appliance has its hard disks encrypted, and no root shell is available during normal operation.)
Metrics
CVSS Version 4.0
CVSS Version 3.x
CVSS Version 2.0
NVD enrichment efforts reference publicly available information to associate
vector strings. CVSS information contributed by other sources is also
