CVE-2020-16602 — Razer Chroma Sdk security vulnerability

High CVSS 8.1

Razer Chroma SDK Rest Server through 3.12.17 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs because there is a race condition in which a file created under "%PROGRAMDATA%\Razer Chroma\SDK\Apps" can be replaced before it is executed by the server. The attacker must have access to port 54236 for a registration step.

Race condition, TOCTOU, and lifecycle synchronization

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map concurrent actors, shared state, lock boundaries, signals, callbacks, retries, and check-then-use sequences in the affected path.
  • Determine whether untrusted users can influence timing, object names, filesystem state, or repeated state transitions.
  • Identify clustered and multi-process behavior that repository-local tests may not represent.

Remediate safely

  • Make the sensitive state transition atomic or protect it with a consistently ordered synchronization primitive.
  • Perform authorization and invariant checks on the same authoritative object and transaction used for the operation.
  • Use unique private resources, safe ownership transfer, and idempotent operations; add deterministic concurrency regression tests.
