It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-97798 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-97798 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 21h2, published on 13 Oct 2026. 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-2026-97798 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 21h2. 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-2026-97798/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97798/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97798","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97798/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97798","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5g5c-c2w4-9hfx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Error Reporting","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized local attacker can elevate privileges via argument injection in the Windows Error Reporting Service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_21h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_22h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_23h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_24h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_25h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_26h1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_26h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2022","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2025","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-88","name":"Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command"}],"description":"Improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command ('argument injection') in Windows Error Reporting allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-10-27","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":34,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-10-27T17:45:26Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/G4sp4rCS/CVE-2026-97798-exploit","stars":34,"title":"CVE-2026-97798 Windows Error Reporting -
