CVE-2026-51082 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-51082: A race condition between the vncproxy and vncwebsocket API calls in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.x pve-manager before 9.1.9 and 8.x before 8.4.19; qemu-server 9.x before 9.1.7 and 8.x before 8.4.7; and pve-container before 6.1.3 (PVE 9.x) and before 5.3.4 (PVE 8.x) allows an attacker with privileges to call "vncproxy" to hijack a VNC session that is established in parallel by a different user for a different VM.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-51082

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-51082 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-51082

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-51082.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-51082, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis
