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-2026-44944 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: open-iscsi. 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-2026-44944/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44944/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-44944","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44944/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-44944","record":{"aliases":["AZL-94431","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44944","GHSA-jm64-8832-wmmq","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44944"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux iSCSI initiator","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged local users can bypass authentication to access the iscsiuio control socket in open-iscsi, potentially escalating privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"suse","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"An Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in open-iscsi allows unprivilidged local users to use the isscsiuio control socket.\n\nThis issue affects open-iscsi: from ? through 668ca1df9c9a1e9bdd5c999ae1d67c9c8909237e.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"iscsiuio control-socket authentication bypass in open-iscsi","id":"CVE-2026-44944","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-Cluster Impersonation Confused-Deputy Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2026-44945"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"remote limited file-write as root via discovery in open-iscsi","id":"CVE-2026-44943"},"products":["open-iscsi"],"published":"2026-07-29","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-29","vendors":["open-iscsi"]},"summary":"Unprivileged local users can bypass authentication to access the iscsiuio control socket in open-iscsi, potentially escalating privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44944/"}
