CVE-2026-46815: 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 unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data. in Oracle Corporation Oracle VM VirtualBox
CVE-2026-46815 is a vulnerability in Oracle VM VirtualBox version 7.2.8 affecting the VMSVGA device component. It allows a high privileged attacker with logon access to the host infrastructure to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox, potentially leading to unauthorized read access to some accessible data. The vulnerability has a low severity with a CVSS score of 3.2 and impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability. Oracle has not explicitly stated a patch or fix for this specific version in the advisory, but recommends applying Critical Security Patch Updates promptly. Mitigations include restricting privileges and blocking network protocols required by an attack, though these may affect functionality. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The vulnerability may also impact additional products due to scope change.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Oracle VM VirtualBox 7.2.8's VMSVGA device allows a high privileged attacker with local access to the host infrastructure to gain unauthorized read access to a subset of data accessible by Oracle VM VirtualBox. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates low attack complexity, requires high privileges, no user interaction, and a scope change affecting confidentiality. The vendor advisory does not explicitly confirm a patch availability for this version but strongly recommends applying Critical Security Patch Updates to mitigate risks. Workarounds include privilege restriction and network protocol blocking, though these may disrupt normal operations. No exploits are currently known in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized read access to some Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data, potentially compromising confidentiality. The vulnerability requires high privileges and local access, limiting the attack surface. There is no impact on integrity or availability. The scope change indicates that other Oracle products might be affected indirectly.
Mitigation Recommendations
Oracle strongly recommends applying Critical Security Patch Updates as soon as possible to address this and other vulnerabilities. Until patches are applied, risk can be reduced by limiting user privileges to only those necessary and blocking network protocols required by potential attacks, though these mitigations may affect application functionality. Monitor Oracle advisories for updates on patch availability specific to Oracle VM VirtualBox 7.2.8.
