{"id":"CVE-2026-27615","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"ADB-Explorer: UNC Path Support in ManualAdbPath Leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE)","description":"ADB Explorer is a fluent UI for ADB on Windows. In versions prior to Beta 0.9.26022, ADB-Explorer allows the `ManualAdbPath` settings variable, which determines the path of the ADB binary to be executed, to be set to a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path in the application's settings file. This allows an attacker to set the binary's path to point to a remote network resource, hosted on an attacker-controlled network share, thus granting the attacker full control over the binary being executed by the app. An attacker may leverage this vulnerability to execute code remotely on a victim's machine with the privileges of the user running the app. Exploitation is made possible by convincing a victim to run a shortcut of the app that points to a custom `App.txt` settings file, which sets `ManualAdbPath` (for example, when downloaded in an archive file). Version Beta 0.9.26022 fixes the issue.","publishedAt":"2026-02-25T02:33:53.553Z","updatedAt":"2026-02-27T17:09:58.886Z","severity":{"score":8.8,"label":"High","version":"4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","source":"GitHub_M"},"assigner":"GitHub_M","products":["Alex4SSB ADB-Explorer"],"affected":[{"vendor":"Alex4SSB","product":"ADB-Explorer","versions":[{"version":"< Beta 0.9.26022","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/Alex4SSB/ADB-Explorer/security/advisories/GHSA-3f27-jp2g-hwhr"],"weaknesses":["CWE-40","CWE-829"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:11:31.369Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/27xxx/CVE-2026-27615.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-27615","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-02-25T02:33:53.553Z","dateUpdated":"2026-02-27T17:09:58.886Z","assignerShortName":"GitHub_M","assignerOrgId":"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa","dateReserved":"2026-02-20T19:43:14.603Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"ADB-Explorer: UNC Path Support in ManualAdbPath Leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE)","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"ADB Explorer is a fluent UI for ADB on Windows.
