Overview

CVE-2026-90028 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 16, 2026.

Technical description

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

usb: typec: hd3ss3220: track VBUS enable state per consumer

regulator_is_enabled() reports the aggregate regulator state, not

whether this consumer holds an enable reference. If another consumer

enables VBUS first, the driver can skip its own regulator_enable() call

and later attempt to drop a reference it never acquired, triggering an

unbalanced regulator disable warning.

Track successful enable and disable calls locally. Keep the state

unchanged when an operation fails so a later role or ID notification

retries the operation while this consumer keeps balanced references.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90028?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90028 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.
