An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-69805 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-69805 is a high-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, published on 8 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-69805 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2022. 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-2026-69805/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-69805/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-69805","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-69805/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-69805","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4pxg-8538-m58j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual Studio","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can elevate privileges via external control of file names or paths in Microsoft Visual Studio and related .NET components.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"microsoft.diagnostics.runtime","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visual_studio_2022","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visual_studio_2026","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"},{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"External control of file name or path in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.","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":".NET Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69805","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:visual_studio_2022","products":["microsoft:visual_studio_2022"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":".NET Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69806"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Office SharePoint Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69804"},"products":["Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14","Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 version 18.9","Microsoft.Diagnostics.Runtime"],"published":"2026-09-08","related":[],"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":"2026-10-14","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can elevate privileges via external control of file names or paths in Microsoft Visual Studio and related .NET components.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-69805/"}
