It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-102490 in the wild since at least 2 Oct 2026.\n\nAffected product: Zammad Zammad. 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-2026-102490/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102490/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-102490","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102490/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-102490","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hgff-g8g3-4xr8","GHSA-p97w-927q-8vxq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Zammad helpdesk","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers with write access to Zammad service files can escalate to root privileges due to insecure service restart mechanisms in DEB and RPM packages.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"DIVD","cpe":[{"product":"zammad","vendor":"zammad"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/AU:Y/V:D","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Zammad packages built with packager.io (DEB and RPM) could have allowed a local attacker who already had file system write privileges as the unprivileged zammad service account to escalate to full root privileges on the host. Service processes began running as root and executed files that were owned and writable by the zammad account before dropping their identity to that account. An attacker holding that foothold could have escalated within seconds, because the affected services were restarted automatically whenever they stopped; no administrator interaction was required.
