CVE-2026-61839: Rejected CVE Entry (Duplicate Record)

CVE-2026-61839 Overview

CVE-2026-61839 is a rejected CVE identifier. The MITRE CVE Program has withdrawn this candidate number from the CVE List. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) marks the entry as a duplicate of CVE-2026-61451. All references, tooling, and vulnerability management workflows should point to CVE-2026-61451 instead of this identifier.

Because the record is rejected, no vendor, product, CVSS score, CWE mapping, or exploit information is associated with CVE-2026-61839. Security teams do not need to remediate this identifier. Instead, review the active record at CVE-2026-61451 for technical details, affected products, and mitigation guidance.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-61839

Vulnerability Analysis

CVE-2026-61839 contains no technical vulnerability content. The MITRE CVE Program rejected the identifier and instructed downstream consumers to reference CVE-2026-61451. Rejected CVE records typically occur when two identifiers are reserved for the same underlying issue, when a submission is later determined not to represent a vulnerability, or when administrative cleanup consolidates duplicates.

In this case, the rejection note explicitly identifies CVE-2026-61451 as the surviving record. Analysts should update internal ticketing systems, SBOM tooling, and detection rules that reference CVE-2026-61839 to point to the canonical identifier.

Root Cause

The root cause of the rejection is administrative duplication within the CVE numbering process. Two identifiers were assigned to the same underlying issue, and CVE-2026-61451 was retained as the authoritative record.

Attack Vector

No attack vector is defined for this identifier. Consult CVE-2026-61451 for the actual exploitation details, prerequisites, and impact scope associated with the underlying issue.
