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-2026-77698 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zohocorp ManageEngine Endpoint Central. 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-2026-77698/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77698/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-77698","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77698/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-77698","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mx2j-mcp4-jc4g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint management software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via the agent upgrade mechanism in ManageEngine Endpoint Central.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zohocorp","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Zohocorp ManageEngine Endpoint Central versions before 11.5.2605.01 are vulnerable to local privilege escalation due to Agent upgrade.","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":"Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2026-77698","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":"Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2026-77699"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2026-77697"},"products":["ManageEngine Endpoint Central"],"published":"2026-09-07","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":"2026-09-08","vendors":["Zohocorp"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via the agent upgrade mechanism in ManageEngine Endpoint Central.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77698/"}
