Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2020-36660 is an information disclosure issue in paxswill EVE Ship Replacement Program 0.12.11. A remote, low-privileged user may be able to access user information through the API handling code. The vendor-fixed release is 0.12.12.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate confidentiality risk. It does not indicate system takeover or service disruption, but exposed user information can create privacy, trust, and operational concerns. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or broadly accessible deployments.
Technical view
The issue is mapped to CWE-200 and affects src/evesrp/views/api.py in the User Information Handler. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3: network reachable, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and low confidentiality impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to organizations running EVE Ship Replacement Program 0.12.11, especially where the application API is reachable by users or the network. The source bundle provides no CPEs and no broader affected version range.
Exploitation context
The sources say remote initiation is possible and the CVSS vector requires low privileges. The CVE is not listed as KEV, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation or public weaponized exploitation.
Researcher notes
Public details are sparse: the affected file and handler are identified, but the exact vulnerable processing path is not described in the bundle. Avoid assuming more affected versions or exploitability beyond CVSS PR:L, remote reachability, and the named 0.12.12 fix.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade EVE Ship Replacement Program to version 0.12.12.
- Apply or verify patch commit 9e03f68e46e85ca9c9694a6971859b3ee66f0240.
- If upgrade timing is unclear, check current vendor guidance before choosing compensating controls.
- Limit API access to trusted authenticated users where operationally feasible.
Validation and detection
- Inventory deployments and confirm whether version 0.12.11 is present.
- Verify deployed code includes the referenced api.py patch commit.
- Confirm the running application reports or matches release 0.12.12 after upgrade.
- Review user information API behavior for least-privilege data exposure.

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
