An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-59310 in the wild since at least 18 Aug 2026, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Vcenter Server. 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-2026-59310/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59310/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-59310","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59310/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-59310","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v2gp-49gj-2c9f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware vCenter","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious actor with network access can exploit a directory traversal flaw in the vCenter Syslog server to execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"vcenter_server","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/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":"VMware vCenter contains a directory traversal vulnerability in the Syslog server. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-08-17","github_poc":5,"max_poc_stars":17,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-10-01T01:29:10Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/chu0119/vc-strike","stars":17,"title":"VC-Strike — VMware vCenter CVE-2026-59310 (unauth root RCE) \u0026 CVE-2026-59309 (SRP auth bypass) authorized pentest suite.
