CVE-2026-40031
Last modified
CVE-2026-40031 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.5/10 on the CVSS scale. MemProcFS before 5.17 contains multiple unsafe library-loading patterns that enable DLL and shared-library hijacking across six attack surfaces, including bare-name LoadLibraryU and dlopen calls without path qualification for vmmpyc, libMSCompression, and plugin DLLs. An attacker who places a malicious DLL or shared library in the working directory or manipulates LD_LIBRARY_PATH can achieve arbitrary code execution when MemProcFS loads.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
