What it is stated by the CNA
A vulnerability has been identified in Altair Grid Engine (All versions < V2026.0.0). Affected products do not properly handle error messages and discloses sensitive password hash information when processing user authentication requests. This could allow a local attacker to extract password hashes for privileged accounts, which can then be subjected to offline brute-force attacks.

How to check this
Every value above is held with two dates: when it was true upstream (as_of) and when we recorded it (tx_from). Re-derive the exploit probability as it stood on any date:
SELECT value, source, source_version, as_of, tx_from
FROM volatile_valid_as_of('CVE-2025-40760', '2026-10-30T23:59:59.999999Z', now());
