Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-47062 is a vulnerability in the core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox version 7.2.12. It allows an attacker with low privileges and logon access to the infrastructure running Oracle VM VirtualBox to cause a hang or frequent crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or integrity but impacts availability. The CVSS vector is AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, reflecting local attack vector, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality or integrity impact, and high availability impact.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation results in denial of service by causing Oracle VM VirtualBox to hang or crash repeatedly. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity of the system. The attack requires local access with low privileges.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch information is provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, restrict local access to trusted users to mitigate risk.
