CVE-2020-15093

27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-15093 is a high-severity vulnerability in the tough library (Rust/crates.io) affecting Amazon Tough, where cryptographic signature thresholds are improperly verified. An attacker can duplicate valid signatures to bypass the minimum unique signature requirement for metadata validation. This flaw carries a CVSS score of 8.6 (High) due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on integrity, allowing an attacker to compromise the trustworthiness of metadata. While a fix is available in tough version 0.7.1, there is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
