CVE Summary Severity CVSS EPSS Priority Signals
CVE-2026-7840 Remote code execution in the UltraVNC repeater (through version 1.8.2.2) allows an unauthenticated attacker who can reach the built-in HTTP administration port (default TCP 80) to overflow a fixed 1000-byte global buffer and corrupt adjacent .bss globals, leading to arbitrary code execution on the host. The flaw lives in wi_senderr() and wi_replyhdr() in repeater/webgui/webutils.c, where the request URI is copied via unchecked sprintf before any authentication check runs. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 combined with pre-auth network reachability makes this a high-priority issue. CRITICAL 9.3 1.2% 48
No patch
CVE-2026-7839 Authentication via hardcoded default credentials in UltraVNC repeater through 1.8.2.2 lets any remote attacker who can reach the HTTP administration port (default TCP 80) log in as administrator. On a fresh or unmodified install where settings2.txt is absent, the repeater writes the literal password 'adminadmi2', and the Basic-auth handler enforces no rate-limiting or lockout, so a single well-known credential yields full control over allow/deny rules and session visibility. Rated CVSS 9.1 (CWE-798); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the credential itself is disclosed in the advisory. CRITICAL 9.1 0.3% 46
No patch
CVE-2026-7838 Remote code execution in the UltraVNC Viewer (all versions through 1.8.2.2) stems from an integer overflow in the RFB failure-response parser: a malicious or man-in-the-middle VNC server can send a reasonLen of 0xFFFFFFFF that wraps to 0 during buffer sizing, then stream 4 GiB into a 256-byte heap allocation. The flaw is reachable pre-authentication through connection-failure and auth-failure messages, so merely connecting a viewer to an attacker-controlled endpoint can corrupt the heap and potentially execute code as the user running the viewer. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the researcher confirmed a reliable heap-buffer-overflow write with AddressSanitizer. HIGH 8.7 1.2% 45
No patch
CVE-2026-7831 Denial of service in the UltraVNC viewer (vncviewer) through 1.8.2.2 arises from an off-by-one stack buffer overflow in the RFB ServerInit message handler, where a malicious VNC server advertising a desktop name of exactly 2024 bytes forces ReadString to write a NUL terminator at _dn[2024], one byte past a 2024-byte stack buffer. A rogue or compromised server can crash victims who connect to it (reliable process termination on /GS-hardened builds) and potentially corrupt adjacent stack data on canary-less release builds. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; exploitation requires the victim to initiate a connection to the attacker-controlled server. HIGH 7.6 0.4% 38
No patch
CVE-2026-7830 Credential disclosure in UltraVNC through 1.8.2.2 lets a passive network observer break the MS-Logon II authentication handshake and recover plaintext usernames and passwords. The rfbUltraVNC_MsLogonIIAuth scheme relies on a Diffie-Hellman exchange whose prime fits in an unsigned 64-bit integer and a private exponent derived from time(NULL)-seeded libc rand(), both of which are trivially solvable, so an attacker who sniffs or man-in-the-middles the exchange derives the shared key in seconds to a minute. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no EPSS/KEV signal supplied; CVSS is 7.4 (AC:H reflecting the need to observe the handshake), and MS-Logon III (X25519 + AES-256-GCM) is not affected. HIGH 7.4 0.2% 37
No patch
CVE-2026-7829 Remote code execution in the UltraVNC Repeater (through version 1.8.2.2) allows an authenticated administrator to corrupt stack memory via the web GUI allow/deny rule parser, ultimately achieving code execution on the repeater host. The flaw (CWE-787, out-of-bounds write) is reachable only after admin login, but that barrier is significantly weakened when chained with CVE-2026-7839 (default password), which can hand an attacker the required credentials. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no EPSS/KEV data supplied, so this is currently a credentialed, chainable RCE rather than a confirmed mass-exploited threat. HIGH 7.2 0.5% 37
No patch
CVE-2026-44041 Out-of-bounds read in UltraVNC through version 1.8.2.2 allows network-authenticated attackers to potentially crash the VNC server process or leak adjacent memory content via the vncWc2Mb() wide-string conversion helper in rfb/dh.cpp at line 204. The flaw is triggered when wcslen() is called on a caller-supplied WCHAR pointer without a preceding bounds check, enabling memory over-reads if the buffer lacks proper NUL termination. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the vendor's CVSS 4.3 (Medium) rating reflects the constrained and largely denial-of-service-oriented impact. MEDIUM 6.5 0.3% 33
No patch
CVE-2026-44040 UltraVNC through 1.8.2.2 exposes a cryptographically weak VNC authentication challenge generator that an attacker can predict by observing network traffic and enumerating a roughly 31-bit seed space derived from wall-clock time and process ID. Successful seed reconstruction allows the attacker to forge or brute-force valid VNC authentication responses, effectively bypassing the RFB challenge-response mechanism and gaining unauthorized remote desktop access. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; however, the mathematical basis for exploitation is straightforward given the small seed space. MEDIUM 6.5 0.2% 33
No patch
CVE-2026-7828 Heap buffer overflow in UltraVNC Repeater through 1.8.2.2 stems from an integer overflow in the HTTP request logging function win_log(), where a malloc size calculation wraps around on 32-bit builds when processing oversized URIs, producing an undersized heap allocation followed by an unchecked strcpy. Remote unauthenticated attackers can trigger this path by sending a maximally-sized URI to the repeater HTTP port, with practical impact bounded by the 153,600-byte HTTP receive buffer and currently assessed at availability disruption rather than reliable code execution. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE is not listed in CISA KEV. MEDIUM 5.3 0.8% 27
No patch
CVE-2026-44042 UltraVNC Repeater through 1.8.2.2 harbors a latent off-by-one stack buffer boundary condition in its HTTP Basic authentication Base64 decoder, where a strict greater-than comparison at `repeater/webgui/webutils.c:817` fails to block an input whose length exactly equals the 1024-byte output buffer. Under current code, the outer HTTP request parser incidentally caps Authorization header length before the defect can produce an out-of-bounds write, making this vulnerability practically unexploitable in its present form - but the flaw is real and would become a one-byte stack write if upstream buffering constraints change. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; this is a latent memory-safety defect requiring patch application as hygiene rather than urgent incident response. LOW 3.7 0.3% 19
