It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-79298 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-2026-79298/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79298/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79298","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79298/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79298","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jq86-c7gv-8phh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SysReturn firmware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code by placing crafted files on the EFI System Partition in SysReturn firmware.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-693","name":"Protection Mechanism Failure"}],"description":"An issue in Howyar Technologies Inc SysReturn Versions prior to 11.3.034 and fixed in v.11.3.0.34 allows a local attcker to execute arbitrary code via the BOOTia32.efi and a crafted cloak32.dat file on the ESP.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-06-15","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-06-15T14:00:01Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/TheMalwareGuardian/UEFI-Security-Research-Howyar-SysReturn-NetCopy","stars":2,"title":"Post CVE-2024-7344 analysis of Howyar SysReturn NetCopy - reverse engineering notes, vulnerable binaries, vendor correspondence, and proof-of-concept tooling for CVE-2026-79298 (IA-32 Secure Boot bypass via the RxPE custom PE loader in BOOTia32.efi)."},{"date":"2026-09-11T08:56:06Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/TheMalwareGuardian/CVE-2026-79298","stars":2,"title":"CVE-2026-79298 - Incomplete remediation of UEFI Secure Boot bypass in Howyar SysReturn.
