CVE-2026-21990

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (8.2)—

Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are 7.1.14 and 7.2.4. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.2 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Impacto secundarioT1565.001 Stored Data Manipulationimpact65 %

Acceso local (AV:L) con privilegios altos (PR:H) sin interacción del usuario en VirtualBox sugiere escalada de privilegios. El alcance cambiado (S:C) implica impactos sistémicos: ejecución de código, acceso a datos y manipulación en el hipervisor comprometido.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
