| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network reachability to the WebSAM WinShare data-receiving service on an affected Windows host running Ver 7.5.0 or earlier, Ver 7.6.0, or Ver 7.7.0 through 7.7.2; the attacker sends a single crafted packet whose protocol-header data-size field is malformed (oversized) to trigger the heap overflow. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N/AT:N/AC:L) no authentication, no user interaction, and no special attack preconditions are needed against the exposed service. The primary limiting factor is exposure: the affected service/port must be network-accessible to the attacker, so hosts where WinShare is firewalled or not internet-facing are correspondingly harder to reach; the product's limited deployment footprint also constrains the realistic target population. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue, not an inflated-CVSS case. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, 9.3) describes remote, network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with no attack requirements, no privileges, and no user interaction, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss - and the description confirms the payoff is arbitrary code execution at SYSTEM. The vuln.today decision label is act_now, which aligns with the severe technical impact. However, the corroborating exploitation signals are weak or absent: no CISA KEV listing, no POC/exploit reference, and no EPSS score are provided in the input, so there is currently no evidence of active or imminent exploitation despite the critical severity. The vector and the description agree (both point to remote unauthenticated network attack), so there is no AV conflict to flag. Net: treat as urgent to patch on severity and the act_now label, while recognizing the real-world exploitation likelihood is unquantified here because EPSS is missing and no public exploit is known. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted packet to the WebSAM WinShare service in which the protocol header carries a malformed (oversized) data size value, overflowing a heap buffer in the data-receiving routine. By shaping the packet the attacker achieves arbitrary code execution in the context of the service, which runs with SYSTEM privileges. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, so this scenario is inferred from the vulnerability description rather than a verified PoC. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 09, 2026
Remote code execution in NEC WebSAM WinShare on Windows lets an unauthenticated network attacker run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on hosts running Ver 7.5.0 and earlier, Ver 7.6.0, or Ver 7.7.0 through 7.7.2. A single crafted packet carrying a malformed data-size value in the protocol header overflows a heap buffer in the data-receiving process (CWE-122), giving full control of the host at the highest Windows privilege level. Scored 9.3 (CVSS 4.0) and rated act_now; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the practical limiting factor is exposure - the data-receiving service must be network-reachable, so firewalled or non-internet-facing deployments and the product's limited deployment footprint constrain the realistic target set.
RemediationAI
The provided data does not list a fixed version, so no vendor-released patch version can be confirmed at time of analysis; consult the NEC advisory at https://jpn.nec.com/security-info/secinfo/nv26-006_en.html for the current update path before assuming an upgrade target. Because exploitation requires reachability to the WinShare data-receiving service, the effective interim control is to block that service's port at the network perimeter and host firewall so only explicitly trusted clients can connect - the trade-off is that legitimate remote WinShare clients lose connectivity until rules are scoped correctly. Where the service must remain reachable, place affected Windows hosts on a segmented network with no inbound access from untrusted segments, accepting reduced operational flexibility in exchange for shrinking the unauthenticated attack surface. Given the act_now rating and SYSTEM-level code execution, treat exposed instances as the priority and verify which hosts actually listen on the data-receiving service rather than relying on inventory records.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in the data-receiving process of NEC WebSAM WinShare, per CPE mapped to cpe:2.3:a:nec_corporation:websam_winshare on Windows. The receiving process trusts a data-size field in the protocol header and, when that value is malformed (oversized), writes beyond the allocated heap buffer; because the code subsequently runs in the context of the vulnerable service, successful corruption yields arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges. The published CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) indicates a remotely reachable, low-complexity target requiring no authentication, no user interaction and no additional attack preconditions, with the impact confined to the vulnerable component rather than subsequent systems; our independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reaches the same conclusion. Beyond the malformed size value in the protocol header, the sources do not describe the precise packet structure or heap layout needed to convert the overflow into reliable code execution.

DescriptionCVE.org
Buffer Overflow in the data receiving process in NEC Corporation WebSAM WinShare Ver 7.5.0 and earlier, Ver 7.6.0 and Ver 7.7.0 through 7.7.2 on Windows allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via a crafted packet with a malformed data size value in the protocol header.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-113364 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in NEC WebSAM WinShare (versions 7.5.0 and earlier, 7.6.0, and 7.7.0-7.7.2) that allows an unauthenticated network attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on exposed hosts. All organizations running WebSAM WinShare are at direct risk of full system compromise, potentially leading to data breaches, ransomware deployment, and operational disruption. Leadership should prioritize immediate mitigation, as no vendor patch is currently available and exposure is limited to network-reachable instances.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting network access to the data-receiving service via firewall rules or network segmentation, monitoring for malicious traffic, and applying any temporary workarounds provided by NEC.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
A heap overflow occurs when a program writes data beyond the bounds of a buffer allocated in the heap memory region.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
