CVE-2025-49146

This is about the PostgreSQL JDBC driver (pgjdbc). pgjdbc is not used in EGS and is not installed by the EGS installer, so EGS is not affected.

CVE-2025-68686

This is a Fortinet FortiOS issue. EGS contains no Fortinet software, so it is not affected.

CVE-2026-56434

This is an nginx SSI use-after-free that needs ssi, proxy_pass and proxy_buffering off together. EGS configures none of them and has no reverse-proxy path, so it is not reachable.

This affects the nginx slice module. That module is not compiled into the nginx shipped with EGS, so EGS is not affected.

CVE-2026-44503

This is a Microsoft Kiota RedirectHandler header leak. Kiota is present only as a dependency of the M365 integration, and EGS never loads the vulnerable handler, so it is not affected.

CVE-2026-33630

This is a c-ares use-after-free. The c-ares version shipped with EGS (1.19.1) predates the vulnerable code, so EGS is not affected.

CVE-2026-14266

This is a 7-Zip XZ decoder overflow. EGS uses 7-Zip only to compress logs and support bundles and never to decode untrusted input, so it is not affected.

CVE-2026-45491

This is a .NET tar extraction path traversal. EGS does not extract tar archives, so it is not affected.

CVE-2026-45490

This is a .NET SDK privilege escalation. The SDK is a build-environment component and is not shipped with EGS, so it is not affected.

CVE-2026-45249

This is an ECharts XSS in the “lines” series tooltip. EGS dashboards use only line and pie charts, so the vulnerable code does not run.

CVE-2026-54570

This is an AngleSharp mutation XSS. The EGS SVG sanitizer allows no math or annotation-xml elements and removes disallowed elements with their children, so it is not affected.

CVE-2026-16413

This is a Google Chrome vulnerability. EGS bundles no Chromium engine, and the admin UI runs in the user’s own browser, so it is not affected.

CVE-2026-50522
