An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-79940 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell iDRAC9. 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-2026-79940/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79940/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79940","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79940/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79940","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-526f-3hr4-7wmf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell iDRAC9","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can access unauthorized data due to improper access control in Dell iDRAC9.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Dell iDRAC9, 14G versions prior to 7.00.00.182 and 15G/16G versions prior to 7.20.30.50, contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability.
