Overview

CVE-2026-63893 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 19, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

thunderbolt: property: Reject u32 wrap in tb_property_entry_valid()

entry->value is u32 and entry->length is u16; the sum is performed in

u32 and wraps. A malicious XDomain peer can pick

value = 0xffffff00, length = 0x100 so the sum 0x100000000 wraps to 0

and passes the > block_len check. tb_property_parse() then passes

entry->value to parse_dwdata() as a dword offset into the property

block, reading attacker-directed memory far past the allocation.

For TEXT-typed entries with the "deviceid" or "vendorid" keys this

lands in xd->device_name / xd->vendor_name and is readable back via

the per-XDomain device_name / vendor_name sysfs attributes; the leak

is NUL-bounded (kstrdup() stops at the first zero byte) and

untargeted (the attacker picks a delta, not an absolute address).

DATA-typed entries are parsed into property->value.data but not

generically surfaced to userspace.

Use check_add_overflow() so a wrapped sum i

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-63893?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-63893 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
