It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-94574 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: GNU Wget (Windows Builds) Wget. 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-2026-94574/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94574/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-94574","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94574/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-94574","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cffj-rwgw-j9q9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows wget build","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges via a writable hardcoded config path in Windows wget builds.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"A local cross-user code execution vulnerability exists in GNU wget (Windows builds from eternallybored.org) due to a hardcoded configuration file path (C:\\msys64) that is writable by unprivileged users, allowing for arbitrary code execution via the use_askpass directive, potentially allowing local privilege escalation.","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":"CVE-2026-94574","id":"CVE-2026-94574","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2026-94575"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Repeater Fields for Elementor Forms \u003c= 2.2.7 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Repeater Field Value","id":"CVE-2026-94573"},"products":["Wget"],"published":"2026-09-22","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-23","vendors":["GNU Wget (Windows Builds)"]},"summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges via a writable hardcoded config path in Windows wget builds.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94574/"}
