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-2026-55979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SecureAge CatchPulse. 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-2026-55979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-55979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55979/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-55979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7q9w-4j7c-8f3v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint security software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can bypass access controls in CatchPulse's named pipe interface to invoke restricted functions, potentially leading to privilege escalation or code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CSA","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"An improper access control check in CatchPulse's named pipe communication interface could allow an attacker to invoke CatchPulse functions. This is limited to operations that enforce more restrictive security policies.","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":"Improper access control check in CatchPulse's named pipe communication interface","id":"CVE-2026-55979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial-of-service vulnerability in CatchPulse","id":"CVE-2026-55980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper access control vulnerability in CatchPulse","id":"CVE-2026-55978"},"products":["CatchPulse"],"published":"2026-08-06","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":"2026-08-06","vendors":["SecureAge"]},"summary":"An attacker can bypass access controls in CatchPulse's named pipe interface to invoke restricted functions, potentially leading to privilege escalation or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55979/"}
