{"id":"CVE-2026-108982","details":"VeraCrypt 1.26.29 (FUSE-T build) on macOS sometimes allows unintended access to decrypted data. It does not terminate the FUSE-T auxiliary service (go-nfsv4) and its associated VeraCrypt core-service helper processes when a volume is dismounted. After VeraCrypt reports the volume as dismounted, the auxiliary mount continues to serve the decrypted volume image (volume.dmg) over a loopback SMB session, and the leaked processes retain an open handle to the underlying raw device. A local user or process can therefore remount and access the decrypted volume without the passphrase, e.g., by reopening a previously accessed path (such as through a macOS Open Recent menu) or by attaching volume.dmg from the stale auxiliary mount. (The macFUSE build of VeraCrypt is not affected.)","modified":"2026-10-14T02:30:18.190808134Z","published":"2026-10-12T02:44:04.730Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"mitre","cwe_ids":["CWE-459"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/108xxx/CVE-2026-108982.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/releases/tag/VeraCrypt_1.26.29"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/general/thread/57f938df8b/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/108xxx/CVE-2026-108982.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-108982"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1779"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1845"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/pull/1866"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/veracrypt/veracrypt","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"d26216c294fdfb090ee856f6195c294176defa1d"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"1.26.29"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["VeraCrypt_1.26.28_Beta4","VeraCrypt_1.26.28_Beta3","VeraCrypt_1.26.28_Beta2","VeraCrypt_1.26.28_Beta","VeraCrypt_1.26.24","VeraCrypt_1.26.20","VeraCrypt_1.26.19","VeraCrypt_1.26.18","VeraCrypt_1.26.15","VeraCrypt_1.26.14","VeraCrypt_1.25.9","VeraCrypt_1.26.7","VeraCrypt_1.26.6","VeraCrypt_1.25.7","VeraCrypt_1.25.4","VeraCrypt_1.24-Update8_MacOSX","VeraCrypt_1.24-Update7","VeraCrypt_1.24-Update6","VeraCrypt_1.24-Update5","VeraCrypt_1.24-Update4","VeraCrypt_1.24-Update3","VeraCrypt_1.24-Update2","VeraCrypt_1.24-Hotfix1","VeraCrypt_1.24","VeraCrypt_1.23","VeraCrypt_1.22","VeraCrypt_1.21","VeraCrypt_1.20","VeraCrypt_1.19","VeraCrypt_1.18a","VeraCrypt_1.18","VeraCrypt_1.18_PreRelease","VeraCrypt_1.17","VeraCrypt_1.16","VeraCrypt_1.15","VeraCrypt_1.14","VeraCrypt_1.13","VeraCrypt_1.12","VeraCrypt_1.0f-2","VeraCrypt_1.0f-1","VeraCrypt_1.0f","VeraCrypt_1.0f-BETA3","VeraCrypt_1.0f-BETA2","VeraCrypt_MacOSX_1.0f-BETA","VeraCrypt_Linux_1.0f-BETA","VeraCrypt_1.0f-BETA","VeraCrypt_MacOSX_1.0e","VeraCrypt_Linux_1.0e","VeraCrypt_1.0e","VeraCrypt_MacOSX_1.0d","VeraCrypt_Linux_1.0d","VeraCrypt_1.0d","VeraCrypt_1.0c","VeraCrypt_1.0b","VeraCrypt_1.0a"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-108982.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
