{"id":"CVE-2020-4045","details":"SSB-DB version 20.0.0 has an information disclosure vulnerability. The get() method is supposed to only decrypt messages when you explicitly ask it to, but there is a bug where it's decrypting any message that it can. This means that it is returning the decrypted content of private messages, which a malicious peer could use to get access to private data. This only affects peers running SSB-DB@20.0.0 who also have private messages, and is only known to be exploitable if you're also running SSB-OOO (default in SSB-Server), which exposes a thin wrapper around get() to anonymous peers. This is fixed in version 20.0.1. Note that users of SSB-Server verion 16.0.0 should upgrade to 16.0.1 to get the fixed version of SSB-DB.","aliases":["GHSA-mpgr-2cx9-327h"],"modified":"2026-07-09T00:21:51.270877Z","published":"2020-06-11T22:15:10.083Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-db/security/advisories/GHSA-mpgr-2cx9-327h"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-db/commit/43334d0871c9cc6220e0f6d6338499060f7761d4"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-db","events":[{"introduced":"9ade58807f6a35ea727aef7a68c692fb835da95a"},{"last_affected":"9ade58807f6a35ea727aef7a68c692fb835da95a"},{"fixed":"43334d0871c9cc6220e0f6d6338499060f7761d4"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"20.0.0"},{"last_affected":"20.0.0"}],"source":["CPE_STRING","REFERENCES"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:scuttlebutt:ssb-db:20.0.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"}}],"versions":["20.0.0","v20.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2020-4045.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
