CVE-2010-20120

Published Aug 21, 2025 CWE-94 EPSS 0.37% (30th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2010-20120 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 21, 2025.

Technical Description

Maple versions up to and including 13's Maplet framework allows embedded commands to be executed automatically when a .maplet file is opened. This behavior bypasses standard security restrictions that normally prevent code execution in regular Maple worksheets. The vulnerability enables attackers to craft malicious .maplet files that execute arbitrary code without user interaction.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
