Overview

CVE-2026-90354 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix double hif2 init on the non-WED path

mt7915_pci_init_hif2() was called unconditionally and again inside the

WED-inactive branch. The helper increments the global hif_idx, writes the

PCIe RECOG_ID register and takes a get_device() reference via

mt7915_pci_get_hif2(), while removal only drops one reference. On non-WED

dual-hif hardware this double-incremented hif_idx, wrote RECOG_ID twice and

leaked a device reference. Only the call inside the WED-inactive branch is

correct; drop the unconditional one. hif2 is already initialised to NULL.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90354?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90354 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.
