## What is CVE-2026-80119?

CVE-2026-80119 is a high-severity vulnerability in PassMark Software BurnInTest, published on 4 Sep 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

PassMark PerformanceTest before 11.1 build 1012, BurnInTest before 11.1 build 1000, and OSForensics before 11.1 build 1016 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in DirectIo64.sys that allows unauthenticated local attackers to dump complete physical memory contents by supplying a caller-controlled file path to an exposed IOCTL. Attackers can issue a single IOCTL call to trigger the driver to iterate all physical memory ranges via MmGetPhysicalMemoryRanges and map each page through ZwMapViewOfSection on the PhysicalMemory section object, writing a full RAM image to an attacker-specified path in the SYSTEM context, bypassing user-mode ACLs and exposing LSASS working set, process memory, and cryptographic material from all running processes.

Weakness: CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path), CWE-497 (Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-80119 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-80119 is a high-severity vulnerability in PassMark Software BurnInTest, published on 4 Sep 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-80119 exists.

Affected product: PassMark Software BurnInTest. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
