It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-8921 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ASUS Business Manager. 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-2026-8921/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8921/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8921","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8921/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8921","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2844-p28c-wcj6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ASUS Business Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by tampering with IPC messages in ASUS Business Manager.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ASUS","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"External Control of File Name or Path vulnerability in ASUS Business Manager allows a local user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via a tampered IPC message.\nRefer to the '\nSecurity Update for ASUS Business Manager ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.","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":"Path traversal in ASUS Business Manager","id":"CVE-2026-8921","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Org.keycloak/keycloak-services: keycloak: org.keycloak.protocol.oidc: security flaw in org.keycloak/keycloak-services","id":"CVE-2026-8922"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Aura Wallpaper Service","id":"CVE-2026-8920"},"products":["ASUS Business Manager"],"published":"2026-07-03","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2026-09-17","vendors":["ASUS"]},"summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by tampering with IPC messages in ASUS Business Manager.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8921/"}
