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-2026-50217 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Akamai Guardicore Platform Agent. 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-2026-50217/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50217/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-50217","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50217/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-50217","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p8p9-vpf5-3ff3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Windows security agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause a system crash via a crafted ICMPv6 packet in Akamai Guardicore Platform Agent when IPv6 redirect policies are enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Windows WFP callout driver of Akamai Guardicore Platform Agent (GPA) allows a local low-privileged user to cause a denial of service (system crash / BSOD) via an outbound ICMPv6 packet containing an IPv6 Hop-by-Hop extension header. When the IPv6 ICMP redirect policy is active, the packet is copied into a buffer that is freed but subsequently passed to a downstream filter. The size of the freed allocation is attacker-controlled (via packet length), enabling kernel pool grooming. Exploitation requires that the non-default IPv6 ICMP capture/redirect policy is enabled for the endpoint.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Use after free in Guardicore Platform Agent","id":"CVE-2026-50217","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in Guardicore Platform Agent","id":"CVE-2026-50218"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in Guardicore Platform Agent","id":"CVE-2026-50216"},"products":["Guardicore Platform Agent"],"published":"2026-10-14","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-14","vendors":["Akamai"]},"summary":"A local attacker can cause a system crash via a crafted ICMPv6 packet in Akamai Guardicore Platform Agent when IPv6 redirect policies are enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50217/"}
