CVE-2026-7280

Status: DeferredHigh (8.4)—

AVACAST developed by eMPIA Technology has a Unquoted Service Path vulnerability, allowing privileged local attackers to place a malicious executable file in a specific directory, resulting in arbitrary code execution with system privileges when the AVACAST service starts.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

AV:L, PR:H (acceso local con privilegios altos) indica escalada local de privilegios. Unquoted Service Path permite ejecutar código arbitrario e interceptar el inicio del servicio para ganar control con permisos de sistema.

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
