Research direction

Start with the GHSA-jpq8-j69f-mj98 advisory and verify CVE-2026-62854 through the CVE List API and NVD. Done means the CVE record has been published and is visible in both public sources, or the publication status and blocker are documented.

Description

Hi! I understand the Advisory Database team is working through a high volume right now, so apologies if this is already in the queue.

Repository security advisory GHSA-jpq8-j69f-mj98 (freescout-help-desk/freescout) was published on 2026-07-15, and GitHub assigned CVE-2026-62854 to it the same day. github-staff noted at the time that the CVE record would be published to the CVE List once the advisory was published.

About four weeks on, CVE-2026-62854 still does not appear on the public CVE List (cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2026-62854 returns 404) and is not in NVD. I'd appreciate it if you could check on its publication status and push the record through.

Thanks!
