Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-78023 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-78023 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) Policy Manager, published on 9 Oct 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-78023 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) Policy Manager. 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-2026-78023/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78023/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-78023","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78023/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-78023","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fc4g-crw4-hc7m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell SCG Policy Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A low-privileged remote attacker can bypass authorization controls in Dell Secure Connect Gateway Policy Manager to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"policy_manager_for_secure_connect_gateway","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) Policy Manager, versions prior to 5.34.00.16, contains an Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability.
