An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-83906 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-83906 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 11 23h2, published on 13 Oct 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-83906 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 11 23h2. 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-2026-83906/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-83906/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-83906","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-83906/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-83906","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3h8c-pxq9-g5j2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Shell","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can spoof network interactions due to incorrect authentication implementation in Windows Shell, requiring a security patch.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_11_23h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_24h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_25h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_26h1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_26h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2025","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-303","name":"Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm"}],"description":"Incorrect implementation of authentication algorithm in Windows Shell allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.","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":"Windows Shell Spoofing Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-83906","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_11_23h2","products":["microsoft:windows_11_23h2","microsoft:windows_11_24h2","microsoft:windows_11_25h2","microsoft:windows_11_26h1","microsoft:windows_11_26h2","microsoft:windows_server_2025"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows Hello Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-83907"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Windows Shell Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-83905"},"products":["Windows 11 Version 23H2","Windows 11 Version 24H2","Windows 11 Version 25H2","Windows 11 Version 26H2","Windows 11 version 23H2","Windows 11 version 26H1","Windows Server 2025","Windows Server 2025 (Server Core installation)"],"published":"2026-10-13","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Link Following","id":"CVE-2026-81963","kev_date_added":"2026-09-08","published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft QUIC Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-100219","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Windows BitLocker Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-96909","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft QUIC Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-62815","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Windows Kernel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-45657","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Windows DNS Client Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-41096","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-40402","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-29","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can spoof network interactions due to incorrect authentication implementation in Windows Shell, requiring a security patch.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-83906/"}
