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-2026-61407 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell Watchdog Timer Driver. 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-2026-61407/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-61407/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-61407","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-61407/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-61407","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qfmc-mx63-r5p3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell Watchdog Timer Driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local low-privileged attacker can exploit an exposed IOCTL in the Dell Watchdog Timer Driver to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-698","name":"Execution After Redirect (EAR)"}],"description":"Dell Watchdog Timer Driver versions prior to 2.0.0.1 contain an Exposed IOCTL with Insufficient Access Control vulnerability.
