CVE-2023-20768

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.7)—💥 PoC
In ion, there is a possible out of bounds read due to type confusion. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS07560720; Issue ID: ALPS07559800.
CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Base score: 6.7
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.11%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 1
Score date: 10/12/2026
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.
