CVE-2026-92152 nasa CVE debrief
CVE-2026-92152 describes an issue with F´ (F Prime) framework versions from 4.1.0 until 4.2.0 where the Svc::GenericHub output-port dispatch is vulnerable due to an unvalidated port index. This allows remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious port index that can lead to heap memory corruption. The issue is particularly concerning for deployments in critical spaceflight and embedded software applications, where such vulnerabilities can have significant operational impacts. Defenders should assess exposure and apply patches or mitigations as available, prioritizing verification of F´ version and exposure.

Who should care
Defenders responsible for F´ deployments, especially those using versions between 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, should assess exposure and apply patches or mitigations as available. This includes verifying F´ version and exposure, reviewing compensating controls, and monitoring for potential exploitation attempts. The vulnerability's impact on operational security and potential for remote code execution necessitate prompt attention from defenders.
Why it matters
CVE-2026-92152 is a critical vulnerability in the F´ framework that allows for potential remote code execution. Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and applying patches or mitigations.
- Potential for remote code execution through heap memory corruption
- Possible disruption of critical spaceflight and embedded software applications
- Need for verification of F´ version and exposure
- Priority for applying patches or mitigations
Technical summary
The Svc::GenericHub in F´ framework versions from 4.1.0 until 4.2.0 has a vulnerability due to an unvalidated port index. This can lead to potential arbitrary code execution by corrupting heap memory when a remote hub packet supplies a port index outside the configured output-port array. The vulnerability is particularly critical for spaceflight and embedded software applications, where such issues can lead to significant disruptions and potential remote code execution. The fix in version 4.2.0 addresses this vulnerability by implementing proper validation.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure in F´ deployments, especially those using versions between 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, and apply patches or mitigations as available.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify F´ version and assess exposure
- Apply patches or mitigations for affected versions
- Monitor for potential exploitation attempts
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets
- Track exceptions and retest remediated assets
- Plan vendor-supported updates through normal change control
Evidence notes
The CVE record and source item provide details on the vulnerability in F´ framework versions from 4.1.0 to 4.2.0. The issue is fixed in version 4.2.0. However, specific details about the affected components, potential impact, and mitigation strategies are limited. Defenders should verify F´ deployments, especially those using versions between 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, and apply patches or mitigations as available. Evidence is based on CVE Program records and source item descriptions.
