External lookup

Potential internet exposure

Potential exposure only — not proof of vulnerability.Shodan results indicate potentially internet-exposed products, not confirmed vulnerable systems. They do not confirm that any returned system is vulnerable to CVE-2025-20090.

Product-level CPE searches intentionally omit version fields and NVD version-range or configuration certainty. Verify the exact product version and configuration independently.

Sign-in required. Shodan requires you to sign in to run these filter searches.

Product CPE queries

Derived from this CVE's existing NVD CPE 2.3 records; the application, operating-system, or hardware part is retained.

How this vector reads

CVSS 4.0 base metrics decoded below. This explanation does not recalculate or change the NVD score.

Attack Vector (AV): Local. The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.
Attack Complexity (AC): Low. No special conditions beyond the attacker-controlled steps are required.
Attack Requirements (AT): None. No prerequisite deployment or execution condition is required.
Privileges Required (PR): Low. The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.
User Interaction (UI): None. Exploitation does not require a targeted user to act.
Vulnerable System Confidentiality (VC): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Integrity (VI): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Availability (VA): High. There is a total or serious impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Confidentiality (SC): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Integrity (SI): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Availability (SA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.

Optional CVSS v4 metrics remain in the raw vector; only base metrics are expanded here.
