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-2026-20794 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-20794 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability in Intel(R) Data Center Graphics Driver for VMware ESXi software, published on 12 May 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-2026-20794 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Data Center Graphics Driver for VMware ESXi software. 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-2026-20794/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20794/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20794","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20794/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20794","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g43p-fpv4-prfq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware ESXi graphics driver","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A buffer overflow in the Intel Data Center Graphics Driver for VMware ESXi allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"Buffer overflow for the Intel(R) Data Center Graphics Driver for VMware ESXi software before version 2.0.2 within Ring 1: Device Drivers may allow an escalation of privilege.
