Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.73% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs NCR SelfServ ATM and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 30 daysRemediation target: Within 180 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

01

What, why and how

NCR SelfServ ATMs running APTRA XFS 05.01.00 do not encrypt, authenticate, or verify the integrity of messages between the BNA and the host computer, which could allow an attacker with physical access to the internal components of the ATM to execute arbitrary code, including code that enables the attacker to commit deposit forgery.

What

NCR SelfServ ATMs running APTRA XFS 05.01.00 do not encrypt, authenticate, or verify the integrity of messages between the BNA and the host computer, which could allow an attacker with physical access to the internal components of the ATM to execute arbitrary code, including code that enables the attacker to commit deposit forgery.

Why

The product uses a transmission protocol that does not include a mechanism for verifying the integrity of the data during transmission, such as a checksum.

How

An attacker operating through physical access may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-353 ↗

CWE-353: Missing Support for Integrity Check. The product uses a transmission protocol that does not include a mechanism for verifying the integrity of the data during transmission, such as a checksum.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVPhysicalAttack vector: The attacker needs physical access to the vulnerable system.ACHighAttack complexity: Successful exploitation depends on specific conditions outside the attacker's direct control.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SChangedScope: The attack can affect a component governed by a different security authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
After compromise, an attacker may use built-in shells, scripting engines, scheduled tasks and native network utilities for discovery, persistence or movement. This is a plausible LoTL path, not evidence that it has occurred for every attack.

JVN iPedia · Japanese · JVNDB-2020-007740NCR SelfServ ATM BNA における複数の脆弱性

NCR が提供する SelfServ ATM BNAには、次の複数の脆弱性が存在します。  * 暗号化および認証の欠如 - CVE-2020-10124 BNA とホストコンピュータ間の通信が暗号化されておらず、また認証機構も欠如しているため、攻撃者により通信内容の窃取や改ざんが行われる可能性があります。    * 不適切な暗号強度 - CVE-2020-10125 BNA のソフトウェア更新ファイルの証明書には強度の低い 512 ビット長の RSA 鍵が用いられており、攻撃者により容易に解析されてしまいます。そのため BNA のソフトウェア更新時に攻撃者により不正なファイルを読み込ませられ、結果として任意のコードを実行させられる可能性があります。    * 認証回避 - CVE-2020-10126 BNA のソフトウェア更新処理において、更新ファイルの検証が行われる前にリムーバブルメディアから任意のファイルを読み込み実行してしまう状況が発生することがあります。その結果、攻撃者によりシステムの認証を回避され、SYSTEM 権限で任意のコードが実行される可能性があります。
