CVE-2020-15492

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—💥 Exploit

An issue was discovered in INNEO Startup TOOLS 2017 M021 12.0.66.3784 through 2018 M040 13.0.70.3804. The sut_srv.exe web application (served on TCP port 85) includes user input into a filesystem access without any further validation. This might allow an unauthenticated attacker to read files on the server via Directory Traversal, or possibly have unspecified other impact.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.

⚠️ GitHub proofs of concept are not verified: some are fake or contain malware. Never run them outside an isolated lab.
