Description

CVE-2026-92209 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in NoMachine version 9.7.3. It arises from insufficient entropy used in the authentication mechanism for the Redis database, allowing attackers with low-privileged code execution to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code as the service account.
