Overview

CVE-2026-93190 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4, 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:

platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: Reject out-of-bounds PD cap count

cros_typec_register_partner_pdos() copies the partner PDOs from the EC

TYPEC_STATUS response into the fixed caps_desc.pdo[PDO_MAX_OBJECTS] array.

memcpy(caps_desc.pdo, resp->source_cap_pdos,

sizeof(u32) * resp->source_cap_count);

...

memcpy(caps_desc.pdo, resp->sink_cap_pdos,

sizeof(u32) * resp->sink_cap_count);

PDO_MAX_OBJECTS is 7. source_cap_count and sink_cap_count are u8 fields

from the EC. The only check is that they are not both zero. If either is

larger than 7, the memcpy writes past the end of the array on the stack.

A count of 255 overflows it by about 1 KB. The EC source arrays are only

seven entries wide. A larger count reads past them too.

The ChromeOS EC firmware caps these counts today, so a compliant setup

does not hit this. The kernel should still validate these values rather

than trust them.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-93190?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-93190 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.
