EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

A local cross-user code execution vulnerability exists in GNU wget (Windows builds from eternallybored.org) due to a hardcoded configuration file path (C:\msys64) that is writable by unprivileged users, allowing for arbitrary code execution via the use_askpass directive, potentially allowing local privilege escalation.
