{"id":"CVE-2026-108982","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-108982","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T05:27:58.509Z","title":"VeraCrypt 1.26.29 (FUSE-T build) on macOS sometimes allows unintended access to decrypted data.","description":"VeraCrypt 1.26.29 (FUSE-T build) on macOS sometimes allows unintended access to decrypted data. It does not terminate the FUSE-T auxiliary service (go-nfsv4) and its associated VeraCrypt core-service helper processes when a volume is dismounted. After VeraCrypt reports the volume as dismounted, the auxiliary mount continues to serve the decrypted volume image (volume.dmg) over a loopback SMB session, and the leaked processes retain an open handle to the underlying raw device. A local user or process can therefore remount and access the decrypted volume without the passphrase, e.g., by reopening a previously accessed path (such as through a macOS Open Recent menu) or by attaching volume.dmg from the stale auxiliary mount. (The macFUSE build of VeraCrypt is not affected.)","published":"2026-10-12T03:17:19.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-16T17:25:58.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":7.2,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-459"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.0019,"percentile":0.08517,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-10-12","score":0.00107,"percentile":0.01076}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.19%).
