NewCVE-2026-83598 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:12 netdata.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream netdata package and not the netdata package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
Netdata is an open source observability tool. From rom 2.0.0 until 2.10.4, during Netdata Windows Agent MSI repair, powershell.exe runs as SYSTEM without -NoProfile and loads %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 from the low-privileged user who initiated repair. Commands placed in that profile before repair therefore execute with SYSTEM privileges. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.4.
