An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-79672 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/lin-snow/ech0 (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/lin-snow/ech0 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 4.4.3\n- github.com/lin-snow/ech0 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 4.4.3\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-2026-79672/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79672/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79672","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79672/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79672","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fwg7-53p4-g33c","GHSA-x98j-gh4v-7p7g","GO-2026-5382"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ech0 comment system","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers with limited-scope tokens can bypass authorization to perform full comment moderation and modify settings in Ech0.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Ech0 before 4.4.3 fails to enforce scope-based authorization on nine comment panel admin endpoints, allowing access tokens with minimal scopes to perform full comment moderation operations.
