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-2026-6892 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canon PIXUS iX6800 Series CUPS Printer Driver for macOS. 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-2026-6892/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6892/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-6892","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6892/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-6892","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xjvf-w7h7-789h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS printer driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit symbolic links during installation to modify directory permissions, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Canon","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"Improper handling of symbolic links in the installer of CUPS Printer Driver for macOS(*) may allow a local attacker with login privileges to exploit a specially crafted symbolic link during installation to modify permissions of directories for which they would not normally have authorization. \n\n*:Canon PIXUS iX6800 Series CUPS Printer Driver for macOS Version 16.91.0.0 or earlier (Japan)\n\nCanon PIXMA MG2500 Series and iX6800 Series CUPS Printer Driver for macOS Version 16.91.0.0 or earlier (US and Europe)","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":"Path traversal in Canon PIXUS iX6800 Series CUPS Printer Driver for macOS","id":"CVE-2026-6892","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Dracut: dracut: root code execution via dhcp options command injection","id":"CVE-2026-6893"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in My Image Garden for macOS","id":"CVE-2026-6891"},"products":["Canon PIXUS iX6800 Series CUPS Printer Driver for macOS","PIXMA MG2500 Series CUPS Printer Driver for macOS","PIXMA iX6800 Series CUPS Printer Driver for macOS"],"published":"2026-05-29","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":"2026-05-29","vendors":["Canon Inc."]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit symbolic links during installation to modify directory permissions, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6892/"}
