CVE-2026-92853

The TLS 1.3 Certificate-message parser in NetX Secure decrements the message length to skip a context byte without first establishing that the message has a byte to skip.

Published Oct 20, 2026CWE-125EPSS 0.30%

Overview

CVE-2026-92853 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 20, 2026.

Technical description

The TLS 1.3 Certificate-message parser in NetX Secure decrements the message length to skip a context byte without first establishing that the message has a byte to skip. A zero-length Certificate message therefore wraps the unsigned length to `0xFFFFFFFF`, which makes the bounds check that follows vacuous and sends the parser reading past the session packet buffer.

The trigger is a four-byte handshake header and requires no cryptographic validity. It is reachable pre-authentication.

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-2026-92853?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
