AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 28, 2026

Privilege escalation in Xen hypervisor due to lock acquisition unfairness in platform operations allows authenticated control-domain users to bypass XSM/Flask permission checks. An attacker with low-privileged authenticated access can exploit the race condition to execute privileged operations, potentially gaining full control of the system. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 8.8 rating but has no known active exploitation or public exploit code.

DescriptionCVE.org

[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]

To manage the system, sysctl and platform operations are used by the control domain or a possible Xenstore domain. Some of these operations may not be executed in parallel, so a system-wide lock each is used. The way those locks are acquired is, however, not providing any fairness. Furthermore, with XSM/Flask in use, the lock acquire will, for some operations, occur ahead of any permission checking.

The sysctl issue is CVE-2026-62426.

The platform-op issue is CVE-2026-62427.
