A rogue local process with write access to the Electrum data directory can place plugin code in the plugins/ folder and mark it enabled, causing arbitrary code execution inside the Electrum process.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-27T13:09:52.04+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-27T13:09:52.04+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"electrum","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"spesmilo\",\n                    \"product\": \"electrum\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"4.7.2\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"4.7.2\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.6,"severity":"HIGH"},{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.4,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/security/advisories/GHSA-vw94-r84p-66qf","https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/032dfcf107da1d31bbee5d64ca978e554fd8e982","https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/fd7164d6dc1560b6f153c018cabf17e9411c5414","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/electrum-before-4.7.2-external-plugin-authorization-bypass-local-code-execution"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-117602","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-117602","identifiers":["CVE-2026-117602"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
