CVE-2026-42171

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.8)—

NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) 3.06.1 before 3.12 sometimes uses the Low IL temp directory when executing as SYSTEM, allowing local attackers to gain privileges (if they can cause my_GetTempFileName to return 0, as shown in the references).

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 7.8

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.24%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 14
Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
