Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-78971 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2026-78971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-78971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78971/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-78971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-46pq-cq8c-c7p9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Halo CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary commands by installing malicious plugins in Halo CMS, leading to full process compromise.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"In Halo \u003c= 2.25.4, the plugin management feature allows users to install/update malicious plugins, which could let attackers execute any command with Halo process permissions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-78971","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Chrome","id":"CVE-2026-78974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-78970"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2026-09-08","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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-14","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary commands by installing malicious plugins in Halo CMS, leading to full process compromise.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78971/"}
