Meta

Meta, a major social media and technology company, has a local privilege escalation vulnerability with a CVSS score of 7.8 that requires user interaction but no authentication to exploit, potentially allowing attackers to gain high-level access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems. The vulnerability can only be exploited from a local machine, meaning an attacker would need existing access to the target device. Security teams should monitor for patches from Meta before the July 24, 2026 deadline and watch for any exploitation attempts targeting local system access.
