Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-8179 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-8179 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint, published on 27 May 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-8179 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint. 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-2026-8179/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8179/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8179","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8179/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8179","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mf5h-x3qw-xr56"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Aspera transfer server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in the asperahttpd component of IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer products.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"aspera_high-speed_transfer_endpoint","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"aspera_high-speed_transfer_server","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-121","name":"Stack-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1 and IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint are affected by a buffer overflow in the asperahttpd component.
