{"id":"ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931","details":"A command execution issue was found in Apache SpamAssassin prior to 3.4.3. Carefully crafted nefarious Configuration (.cf) files can be configured to run system commands similar to CVE-2018-11805. This issue is less stealthy and attempts to exploit the issue will throw warnings. Thanks to Damian Lukowski at credativ for reporting the issue ethically. With this bug unpatched, exploits can be injected in a number of scenarios though doing so remotely is difficult. In addition to upgrading to SA 3.4.4, we again recommend that users should only use update channels or 3rd party .cf files from trusted places.","modified":"2026-09-11T10:17:51.401055277Z","published":"2020-01-30T18:15:11.410Z","upstream":["CVE-2020-1931"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2020-1931"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.10","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.11","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.12","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.13","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.14","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.15","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.16","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.17","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.18","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.19","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.20","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.21","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.22","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.23","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/spamassassin?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.4-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2020-1931.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spamassassin","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.24","purl":"pkg:apk/alpin
