It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data

What does this mean?

The flaw allows code to run on the host before any login is required. The injected code runs with the highest available privileges (SYSTEM), which can fully compromise the affected machine.Source: github.com

Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-104989?

V-Ray Swarm: through 2.0.19.Source: cve.now feed data

Am I affected, and how do I check?

Chaos V-Ray Swarm versions up to and including 2.0.19 are in the affected range. Compare the installed V-Ray Swarm version against 2.0.19 to see whether it falls in that range.Source: github.com

How do I fix CVE-2026-104989?

The checked facts name no fixed version, so no upgrade target can be given. Check the vendor's advisory for a fix before deciding on an update.Source: github.com

What if there's no patch?
