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-2026-78236 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Admin By Request (ABR). 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-2026-78236/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78236/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-78236","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78236/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-78236","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-733c-6w54-grpx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS privilege management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A low-privileged user can escalate to administrator by exploiting an insecure PIN derivation mechanism via XPC masquerading.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CSA","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-327","name":"Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm"},{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"},{"id":"CWE-285","name":"Improper Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"An insecure PIN derivation mechanism in ABR allows a low-privileged user to escalate privileges to administrator by communicating over Cross-Process Communication (XPC) while masquerading as an Apple-signed process.","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":"Insecure PIN derivation mechanism in Admin By Request (ABR)","id":"CVE-2026-78236","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Insufficient input validation in Admin By Request (ABR)","id":"CVE-2026-78237"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Red Hat build of Apache Camel - HawtIO 4","id":"CVE-2026-78234"},"products":["Admin By Request (ABR)"],"published":"2026-08-26","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":"2026-08-28","vendors":["Admin By Request (ABR)"]},"summary":"A low-privileged user can escalate to administrator by exploiting an insecure PIN derivation mechanism via XPC masquerading.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78236/"}
