It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-26624 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-26624 is a high-severity vulnerability in MicroWorld Technologies Inc. eScan Anti-Virus for Linux, published on 1 Apr 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-26624 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: MicroWorld Technologies Inc. eScan Anti-Virus for Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26624/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26624/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-26624","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26624/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-26624","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7jxx-pm65-7mq4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux antivirus software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root by manipulating parameters in the eScan Anti-Virus runasroot command due to insufficient validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"krcert","cpe":[{"product":"escan_anti-virus","vendor":"escanav"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"An local privilege escalation vulnerability due to a \"runasroot\" command in eScan Anti-Virus.
