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-2026-14551 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: servereye Windows Agent (Sensorhub). 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-2026-14551/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14551/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-14551","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14551/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-14551","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fc5x-r66h-vp5f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows monitoring agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by exploiting insecure directory permissions and unvalidated file copy operations in the servereye client service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"NCSC.ch","cpe":[],"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-379","name":"Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions"},{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The servereye client (also known as sensorhub, technically ClientAgentContainerService) versions 20.15 and earlier are vulnerable to Local Privilege Escalation. The high-privileged service SE3Recovery (EmergencyRecoveryService.exe), running as SYSTEM, periodically monitors the directory %ProgramData%\\ServerEye3\\update\\ for a trigger file named \"update_available\". Due to insufficient access restrictions on this directory, a local standard user can create the trigger file and provide a path to a directory containing malicious JSON instructions. The service subsequently executes the utility UpdaterAction.exe with SYSTEM privileges, which parses the instructions and performs an unvalidated file copy from a user-controlled source to a protected system destination (e.g., overwriting a service binary). This leads to full system compromise as the service automatically restarts the overwritten binary with SYSTEM privileges.","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":"Local Privilege Escalation in servereye client (sensorhub)","id":"CVE-2026-14551","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Incorrect Authorization in GitLab","id":"CVE-2026-14552"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WPCafe \u003c 3.0.18 - Unauthenticated Reservation Approval Bypass via Missing Authorization","id":"CVE-2026-14550"},"products":["servereye Windows Agent (Sensorhub)"],"published":"2026-07-22","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":"2026-07-22","vendors":["servereye GmbH"]},"summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by exploiting insecure directory permissions and unvalidated file copy operations in the servereye client service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14551/"}
