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-2026-12080 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. 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-2026-12080/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12080/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-12080","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12080/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-12080","record":{"aliases":["AZL-93006","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-12080","ECHO-3b36-2d36-acbd","GHSA-9xqq-92hv-jj34","OESA-2026-4084","OESA-2026-4085","OESA-2026-4086","OESA-2026-4087","RLSA-2026:88421","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-12080"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"QEMU Guest Agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root via symlink attacks in QEMU Guest Agent, requiring an external management layer to trigger the vulnerability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"}],"description":"A flaw was found in the QEMU Guest Agent (qga). A local unprivileged user can exploit a vulnerability in the guest-ssh-add-authorized-keys command handler by manipulating symbolic links. This can occur either through a deterministic directory-symlink bypass or a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) file-symlink race. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to gain ownership of arbitrary root-owned files or directories, leading to root access. This vulnerability requires an external management layer (e.g., libvirt) to trigger the affected code path.","ecosystems":["Rocky Linux:9"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-10-22","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-10-22T18:09:38Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/M8seven/cve-2026-12080-qemu-guest-agent-authorized-keys","stars":0,"title":"Technical writeup of CVE-2026-12080: local privilege escalation in the QEMU Guest Agent (qga) guest-ssh-add-authorized-keys handler via symlink following."}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Qemu-kvm: qemu-guest-agent: local privilege escalation via symlink attack in guest-ssh-add-authorized-keys","id":"CVE-2026-12080","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Deserialization in Database for Contact Form 7, WPforms, Elementor forms","id":"CVE-2026-12081"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Rocky Linux:9","fixed":["7:10.1.0-17.el9_8.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"qemu-kvm","purl":"pkg:rpm/rocky-linux/qemu-kvm?distro=rocky-linux-9\u0026epoch=7","source":"RLSA-2026:88421"}],"prev":{"headline":"Dokan Pro \u003c= 5.0.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via 'orderby' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-12079"},"products":["Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9","Red Hat Enterprise Linux for NVIDIA 26","Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4"],"published":"2026-07-20","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD","name":"Rocky Linux","prefix":"RLSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-22","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root via symlink attacks in QEMU Guest Agent, requiring an external management layer to trigger the vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12080/"}
