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-2026-92252 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WatchDog Anti-Virus. 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-2026-92252/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-92252/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-92252","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-92252/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-92252","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gg55-9v9r-g4r9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WatchDog Anti-Virus","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can modify antivirus binaries due to insecure default permissions, potentially disabling protection or executing privileged code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"watchdog","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","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/E:U/AU:Y/RE:M/U:Amber","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"Incorrect default permissions in the installation directory of WatchDog Anti-Virus on Windows allow local, low-privileged users to modify, replace, or delete antivirus binaries and configuration files, because the installer grants the Users group Full Control over C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Watchdog Anti-Virus.
