An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-40138 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access. 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-2026-40138/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40138/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-40138","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40138/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-40138","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hcrc-2pw3-4v88"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Remote Support Appliance","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Network attackers can bypass authentication to gain unauthorized access with elevated privileges on BeyondTrust Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access appliances.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"BT","cpe":[{"product":"privileged_remote_access","vendor":"beyondtrust"},{"product":"remote_support","vendor":"beyondtrust"}],"cvss":{"score":9.2,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"A critical pre-authentication vulnerability exists in the authentication subsystem of BeyondTrust Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access.
