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-2026-7373 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Rapid7 Metasploit Pro. 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-2026-7373/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-7373/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-7373","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-7373/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-7373","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q6qj-wmmg-cc85"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Metasploit Pro","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker with a pre-existing vagrant user account can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by planting a malicious OpenSSL configuration file.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"rapid7","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:P","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"},{"id":"CWE-829","name":"Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Rapid7 Metasploit Pro is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation attack that allows a user to gain SYSTEM level control of a Windows host. When started the metasploitPostgreSQL service would start the postgres.exe child process which would in turn load an OpenSSL configuration file from a static location. This static location would be writable by a pre-existing \"vagrant\" user, if they already existed on the system. Metasploit does not create local accounts, an Administrator would need to create it. By planting a crafted openssl.cnf file an attacker can trick the high-privilege service into executing arbitrary commands. This effectively permits the unprivileged vagrant user to bypass security controls and achieve a full host compromise under the agent's SYSTEM level access.","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":"Metasploit Pro on Windows: Local Privilege Escalation via OpenSSL Configuration File Loading","id":"CVE-2026-7373","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Kubevirt: kubevirt virt-handler: privilege escalation and node compromise via symlink following vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-7374"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"GeoVision GV-VMS V20 WebCam Server Login stack overflow vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-7372"},"products":["Metasploit Pro"],"published":"2026-05-15","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-19","vendors":["Rapid7"]},"summary":"A local attacker with a pre-existing vagrant user account can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by planting a malicious OpenSSL configuration file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-7373/"}
