Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-97685 exists.\n\nAffected product: LimeSurvey. 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-2026-97685/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97685/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97685","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97685/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97685","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c7fj-2fxp-jqpf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LimeSurvey survey tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can modify questions and answers in other users' surveys by bypassing authorization checks in the REST API.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Fluid Attacks","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"An authenticated LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.3.0 user allowed to create surveys can use their own survey as an authorized context while supplying question or answer identifiers belonging to another user's survey.
