It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-79814 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). 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-2026-79814/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79814/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79814","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79814/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79814","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hj73-xc58-6r33"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Network access control","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit arbitrary file write in ClearPass OnGuard agent to escalate privileges and execute code if specific preconditions are met.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hpe","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"An arbitrary file write vulnerability in the ClearPass Policy Manager OnGuard agent could allow malicious users on a local instance to elevate their user privileges if certain preconditions outside of the attacker's control are met.
