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-2021-3626 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Multipass. 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-2021-3626/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3626/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-3626","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3626/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-3626","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-68wj-3pj9-r3hp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Multipass VM manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit an unauthenticated TCP control socket in Multipass on Windows to mount host directories into guests, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"multipass","vendor":"canonical"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The Windows version of Multipass before 1.7.0 allowed any local process to connect to the localhost TCP control socket to perform mounts from the operating system to a guest, allowing for privilege escalation.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Windows version of Multipass unauthenticated localhost tcp control socket can perform mounts","id":"CVE-2021-3626","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2021-3627"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Buffer overflow in Zephyr USB DFU DNLOAD","id":"CVE-2021-3625"},"products":["Multipass"],"published":"2021-10-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"MacOS version of Multipass incorrect owner for application directory","id":"CVE-2021-3747","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-01"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"SFTP Server VM Escape in Canonical Multipass","id":"CVE-2026-49238","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation in Canonical Multipass","id":"CVE-2026-49237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-28"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"LPE on Multipass for macOS","id":"CVE-2025-5199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["Canonical"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit an unauthenticated TCP control socket in Multipass on Windows to mount host directories into guests, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-3626/"}
