It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-6851 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Bitdefender Internet Security. 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-2026-6851/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6851/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-6851","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6851/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-6851","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f943-xhh7-7c5g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Bitdefender Total Security","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit a race condition in the File Shredder module to elevate privileges via symbolic links.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Bitdefender","cpe":[{"product":"internet_security","vendor":"bitdefender"},{"product":"total_security","vendor":"bitdefender"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"An Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') vulnerability in the File Shredder module as used in Bitdefender Total Security and Internet Security on Windows allows a less-privileged local user to elevate rights by leveraging a race conditions via Symbolic Links.\n\nThis issue affects Total Security: before 27.0.58.315; Internet Security: before 27.0.58.315.","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 link resolution before file access in Bitdefender Total Security via Link Following (VA-13681)","id":"CVE-2026-6851","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"OTP Bypass in Başbelen Group's Pause+ Mobile App","id":"CVE-2026-6853"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Crafted message attachment causes client-side denial of service via markdown parser regex backtracking in Mattermost","id":"CVE-2026-6850"},"products":["Internet Security","Total Security"],"published":"2026-07-14","related":[{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0850","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-03-09"}],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-15","vendors":["Bitdefender"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit a race condition in the File Shredder module to elevate privileges via symbolic links.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6851/"}
