Overview

CVE-2026-90000 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 16, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, 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:

HID: rmi: fix OOB access with undersized RMI reports

The hid-rmi driver sizes its writeReport/readReport buffer purely from

the report descriptor supplied by the device, with no minimum bound:

data->input_report_size = hid_report_len(input_report);

data->output_report_size = hid_report_len(output_report);

alloc_size = data->output_report_size + data->input_report_size;

data->writeReport = devm_kzalloc(&hdev->dev, alloc_size, GFP_KERNEL);

data->readReport = data->writeReport + data->output_report_size;

but then reads and writes fixed offsets into it. A device declaring a

1-byte output and a 1-byte input report makes hid_report_len() return 2

for each, so alloc_size is 4, while rmi_set_page() -- reached

unconditionally at probe time through rmi_input_configured() -- stores

writeReport[4] and rmi_hid_read_block() stores writeReport[0..5]. Since

readReport lives at writeReport + output_report_size, those stores

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90000?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90000 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.
