Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-1879 exists.\n\nAffected product: Harvard University IQSS Dataverse. 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-2026-1879/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1879/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-1879","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1879/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-1879","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xfqh-9ppr-q5mc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dataverse research data repository","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can upload malicious files via the theme customization feature, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"A vulnerability was detected in Harvard University IQSS Dataverse up to 6.8.
