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-2026-92254 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-2026-92254/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-92254/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-92254","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-92254/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-92254","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g5cw-xv36-rr58"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows antivirus driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges via unauthenticated IOCTLs, potentially disabling security software or destabilizing the OS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"watchdog","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/AU:Y/RE:L/U:Amber","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Missing Authorization in the IOCTL handlers of the wsdkd.sys kernel drivers in Watchdog WatchDog Antivirus 1.8.640 (driver versions 1.3.0.0 and earlier) on Microsoft Windows allows local, low-privileged attackers to delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges, bypassing NTFS access controls and potentially disabling security products or destabilizing the operating system, via crafted IOCTL requests sent to the \\Device\\wsdk device.","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":"WatchDog Antivirus kernel driver arbitrary file deletion via unauthenticated IOCTL","id":"CVE-2026-92254","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Netcore NR255-V 1.5.130703 Out-of-Bounds Read in filter_arp_put_file.cgi via String API Misuse","id":"CVE-2026-92255"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Arbitrary File Write via Directory Junction in WatchDog Anti-Virus Quarantine Restoration","id":"CVE-2026-92253"},"products":["Anti-Virus"],"published":"2026-09-20","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-21","vendors":["Watchdog"]},"summary":"Local attackers can delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges via unauthenticated IOCTLs, potentially disabling security software or destabilizing the OS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-92254/"}
