CVE-2026-71129 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox affecting supported version 7.2.14. The issue is locally exploitable by an attacker who already has high privileges and logon access to the infrastructure where VirtualBox executes. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to compromise and effectively take over Oracle VM VirtualBox. Oracle indicates scope change, meaning exploitation of the flaw in VirtualBox may also significantly affect additional products beyond the vulnerable component itself. No specific vulnerable function or root-cause details are currently available.
