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-2026-91800 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Foxit Pdf Editor. 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-2026-91800/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-91800/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-91800","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-91800/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-91800","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3jfq-gmmh-mj79"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF editor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary commands with root privileges by exploiting insufficient validation in the Foxit PDF Editor macOS installer during upgrades.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Foxit","cpe":[{"product":"pdf_editor","vendor":"foxit"},{"product":"pdf_reader","vendor":"foxit"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the installer of Foxit PDF Editor for macOS due to insufficient validation of a user-modifiable configuration value during high-privilege upgrades.
