CVE-2026-8049

This results in overly permissive default access control, allowing any authenticated local user to obtain a handle to the device and issue privileged IOCTLs.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.11%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.11%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In SignalRGB versions prior to 1.3.7.0, the \\.\SignalIo device object is created without an explicit SDDL security descriptor and without FILE_DEVICE_SECURE_OPEN. This results in overly permissive default access control, allowing any authenticated local user to obtain a handle to the device and issue privileged IOCTLs.
