{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83597","details":"Netdata is an open source observability tool. From version 2.0.0 until 2.10.4, Netdata Windows Agent MSI repair launches powershell.exe and wevtutil.exe as elevated interactive processes in the initiating user's desktop session. A low-privileged local user who triggers repair can interact with or hijack those visible process windows to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges. This issue is fixed in stable version 2.10.4.","modified":"2026-09-24T02:00:14.683679020Z","published":"2026-09-22T18:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-83597"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-83597"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-83597"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/netdata/netdata/commit/d762782697623a98b51b4e41f7fe2d12404f0662"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/netdata/netdata/pull/22751"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v2.10.4"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/netdata/netdata/security/advisories/GHSA-jmv4-pq25-crvv"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"netdata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netdata?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.7.0+dfsg-1","1.8.0+dfsg-1","1.9.0+dfsg-1","1.9.0+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"netdata","binary_version":"1.9.0+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_name":"netdata-data","binary_version":"1.9.0+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netdata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netdata?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.16.1-2","1.19.0-3ubuntu1","1.19.0-3ubuntu1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"netdata","binary_version":"1.19.0-3ubuntu1+esm1"},{"binary_version":"1.19.0-3ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"netdata-apache2"},{"binary_version":"1.19.0-3ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"netdata-core"},{"binary_name":"netdata-plugins-bash","binary_version":"1.19.0-3ubuntu1+esm1"},{"binary_version":"1.19.0-3ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"netdata-plugins-nodejs"},{"binary_name":"netdata-plugins-python","binary_version":"1.19.0-3ubuntu1+esm1"},{"binary_name":"netdata-web","binary_version":"1.19.0-3ubuntu1+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netdata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netdata?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.29.3-4","1.31.0-4","1.33.1-1ubuntu1","1.33.1-1ubuntu1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"netdata","binary_version":"1.33.1-1ubuntu1+esm1"},{"binary_version":"1.33.1-1ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"netdata-apache2"},{"binary_name":"netdata-core","binary_version":"1.33.1-1ubuntu1+esm1"},{"binary_name":"netdata-plugins-bash","binary_version":"1.33.1-1ubuntu1+esm1"},{"binary_name":"netdata-plugins-nodejs","binary_version":"1.33.1-1ubuntu1+esm1"},{"binary_version":"1.33.1-1ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"netdata-plugins-python"},{"binary_name":"netdata-web","binary_version":"1.33.1-1ubuntu1+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netdata","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netdata?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.42.1-1","1.43.1-1","1.43.2-1","1.43.2-1build1","1.43.2-1build2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.43.2-1build2","binary_name":"netdata"},{"binary_name":"netdata-apache2","binary_version":"1.43.2-1build2"},{"binary_version":"1.43.2-1build2","binary_name":"netdata-core"},{"binary_version":"1.43.2-1build2","binary_name":"netdata-plugins-bash"},{"binary_name":"netdata-plugins-python","binary_version":"1.43.2-1build2"},{"binary_version":"1.43.2-1build2","binary_name":"netdata-web"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83597.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
