It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-62687 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-62687 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 21h2, published on 13 Oct 2026. 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-2026-62687 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 21h2. 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-2026-62687/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62687/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-62687","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62687/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-62687","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-99cv-qr86-89xq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Backup Engine","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized local attacker can exploit improper link resolution in Windows Backup Engine to disclose sensitive information.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_21h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_22h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_23h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_24h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_25h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_26h1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_26h2","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Backup Engine allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.","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":"Windows Backup Engine Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-62687","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10_21h2","products":["microsoft:windows_10_21h2","microsoft:windows_10_22h2","microsoft:windows_11_23h2","microsoft:windows_11_24h2","microsoft:windows_11_25h2","microsoft:windows_11_26h1","microsoft:windows_11_26h2"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows MIDI Service Module Elevation of Privileges Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-62688"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File Browser: Colliding username normalization gives two users the same home directory","id":"CVE-2026-62685"},"products":["Windows 10 Version 21H2","Windows 10 Version 22H2","Windows 11 Version 23H2","Windows 11 Version 24H2","Windows 11 Version 25H2","Windows 11 Version 26H2","Windows 11 version 23H2","Windows 11 version 26H1"],"published":"2026-10-13","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel Integration VSP Heap-based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-21333","kev_date_added":"2025-01-14","published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel Integration VSP Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2025-21334","kev_date_added":"2025-01-14","published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel Integration VSP Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2025-21335","kev_date_added":"2025-01-14","published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Windows TCP/IP Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-42904","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-105733","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows AppX Deployment Extensions Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69945","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows Graphics Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-88073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"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":"2026-10-29","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An authorized local attacker can exploit improper link resolution in Windows Backup Engine to disclose sensitive information.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62687/"}
