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-2026-15060 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: systemd-machined. 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-2026-15060/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15060/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-15060","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15060/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-15060","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-15060","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-15060"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"systemd-machined","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged desktop users can terminate arbitrary privileged processes via systemd-machined due to missing authorization checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"systemd","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"When systemd-machined \u003e= v259 (or v258 with a custom `polkit` policy that allows `register-machine` access) is running on a desktop system, an unprivileged user logged in a desktop graphical session can kill arbitrary processes, even privileged ones.\n\n- versions older than v259 are not affected, unless unprivileged access is granted for the `register-machine` polkit action via a local, custom policy config file\n- versions older than v258 are not affected\n- unrelated to the systemd service manager (pid 1 or user session managers)\n- systemd-machined is not typically installed by default, and is typically in an optional, separate package (e.g.: systemd-container)\n- terminal-only or remote sessions (e.g.: ssh) are not affected","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"systemd-machined: unprivileged users can terminate arbitrary processes","id":"CVE-2026-15060","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-15061"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"systemd-oomd: unprivileged users can terminate arbitrary processes","id":"CVE-2026-15059"},"products":["systemd-machined"],"published":"2026-08-10","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["systemd"]},"summary":"Unprivileged desktop users can terminate arbitrary privileged processes via systemd-machined due to missing authorization checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15060/"}
