Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-8079 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Progress Software Flowmon. 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-2026-8079/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8079/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8079","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8079/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8079","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m362-439h-2w4j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Flowmon network monitoring","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated low-privileged users can perform actions with elevated privileges during PDF generation, leading to unauthorized data access and configuration changes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ProgressSoftware","cpe":[{"product":"flowmon","vendor":"progress"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"In Progress Flowmon versions prior to 12.5.9 and 13.0.11, a vulnerability exists whereby an authenticated low-privileged user may craft a request during the PDF generation process that results in operations being performed with the privileges of another user, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data and unintended modifications to system configuration.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Unintended limited set of actions with elevated privileges may be performed during PDF generation in Progress Flowmon","id":"CVE-2026-8079","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"MISP core - Stored XSS in MISP template (old engine) element attribute type","id":"CVE-2026-8080"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Fix stored XSS in global settings change log","id":"CVE-2026-8078"},"products":["Flowmon"],"published":"2026-07-02","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Flowmon Unauthenticated Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-2389","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-02"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Unintended command execution during report generation in Progress Flowmon","id":"CVE-2026-3692","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-02"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Possibility of unintended actions when an administrator clicks a malicious link in the Progress Flowmon web application","id":"CVE-2026-2737","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-03","vendors":["Progress Software"]},"summary":"Authenticated low-privileged users can perform actions with elevated privileges during PDF generation, leading to unauthorized data access and configuration changes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8079/"}
