{"id":"CVE-2026-14765","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-14765","generatedAt":"2026-10-27T23:52:00.920Z","title":"Epic Games Unreal Engine versions up to and including 5.8.0 ship with an insecure default configuration for the LaunchURL Blueprint node (UKismetSystemLibrary::LaunchURL).","description":"Epic Games Unreal Engine versions up to and including 5.8.0 ship with an insecure default configuration for the LaunchURL Blueprint node (UKismetSystemLibrary::LaunchURL). The URL scheme filter (FURLRequestFilter) is empty by default, which permits all URL schemes. On Windows, this results in a call to ShellExecuteW() with the open verb, so a supplied file:/// URI causes the referenced file to be executed. Any Unreal Engine game that loads user-generated content containing Blueprints is vulnerable to command execution via a malicious local file or a remote file on a WebDAV share. This is an instance of CWE-1188 (Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default).","published":"2026-10-14T03:17:22.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-18T14:16:55.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"cve@takeonme.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.7,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-1188"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00387,"percentile":0.32494,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-14","score":0.00387,"percentile":0.31045}]},"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 (0.39%).
