It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-28915 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-28915 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Apple Macos, published on 11 May 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-28915 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Macos. 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-2026-28915/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28915/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-28915","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28915/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-28915","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3p5g-f8f7-7m9h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS operating system","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An app can gain root privileges due to a path parsing issue in macOS, requiring users to apply the latest security updates.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"macos","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A parsing issue in the handling of directory paths was addressed with improved path validation.
