CVE-2026-118462

CriticalCVSS 9.2
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Update components download and execute code without proper authenticity verification, relying on ignored hashes or forgeable checksums. Some update paths also permit archive traversal or script execution.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can supply a forged update and achieve arbitrary code execution on the victim system. This may lead to full host compromise or infection of the entire environment.

Recommendation

Implement update signing and enforce signature and checksum verification before installation. Prevent script execution and archive extraction outside the permitted directory.
