It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-20741 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-20741 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Intel Proset\\/Wireless Wifi, published on 11 Aug 2026. 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-2026-20741 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel Proset\\/Wireless Wifi. 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-2026-20741/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20741/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20741","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20741/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20741","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r7h4-q59g-9pfm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unprivileged local attacker can cause a denial of service in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software due to improper access control in device drivers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"proset\\/wireless_wifi","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:L/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Improper access control for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software within Ring 2: Device Drivers may allow a denial of service.
