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-2026-2636 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows OS. 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-2026-2636/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-2636/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-2636","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-2636/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-2636","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fww6-3c6x-rf7p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An unprivileged user can trigger a system crash in the CLFS.sys driver, causing a denial of service on affected Windows systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Fortra","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-159","name":"Improper Handling of Invalid Use of Special Elements"}],"description":"This vulnerability is caused by a CWE‑159: \"Improper Handling of Invalid Use of Special Elements\" weakness, which leads to an unrecoverable inconsistency in the CLFS.sys driver.
