It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-2516 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unidocs ezPDF DRM Reader. 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-2026-2516/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-2516/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-2516","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-2516/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-2516","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r996-q9x2-5wwf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF reader software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit an uncontrolled search path in SHFOLDER.dll to execute arbitrary code, requiring users to upgrade to the latest version.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"},{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"A vulnerability was identified in Unidocs ezPDF DRM Reader and ezPDF Reader 2.0/3.0.0.4.
