An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-86060 in the wild since at least 10 Sep 2026.\n\nAffected product: Mikrotik Routeros. 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-2026-86060/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86060/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-86060","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86060/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-86060","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6425-cjxv-52gp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mikrotik RouterOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by manipulating SSH usernames to alter policy masks, requiring an upgrade to secure RouterOS devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CERT-PL","cpe":[{"product":"routeros","vendor":"mikrotik"}],"cvss":{"score":9.2,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-88","name":"Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command"}],"description":"RouterOS contains an argument-handling flaw in the SSH login\npath involving usernames that begin with a prohibited character, allowing for the trusted RouterOS policy mask to be changed, leading to privilege escalation.
