Summary
Sophos Anti-Virus 3.93 does not check downloaded files for viruses when they have only been written, which creates a race condition and may allow remote attackers to bypass virus protection if the file is executed before the antivirus starts on system reboot.
Exploit prediction
4.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 91% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
