It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-102851 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Visual Studio Code. 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-2026-102851/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102851/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-102851","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102851/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-102851","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pqx5-457c-r54v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual Studio Code","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized local attacker can bypass security features in Visual Studio Code due to incorrect privilege assignment.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"Incorrect privilege assignment in Visual Studio Code allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-102851","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft Office Visio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-102855"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Office Access Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-102850"},"products":["Visual Studio Code"],"published":"2026-10-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-29","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An authorized local attacker can bypass security features in Visual Studio Code due to incorrect privilege assignment.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102851/"}
