An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2022-26486 in the wild since at least 7 Mar 2022.\n\nAffected product: Mozilla Firefox. 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-2022-26486/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-26486/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-26486","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-26486/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-26486","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-26486","GHSA-h9vh-vxg7-xmhh","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-26486"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mozilla Firefox","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit a use-after-free in the WebGPU IPC framework to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code, requiring users to upgrade their browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mozilla","cpe":[{"product":"firefox","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"firefox_focus","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"firefox_mobile","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"thunderbird","vendor":"mozilla"}],"cvss":{"score":9.6,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"An unexpected message in the WebGPU IPC framework could lead to a use-after-free and exploitable sandbox escape.
