CVE-2026-5476: NASA cFS cfe_tbl_passthru_codec.c CFE_TBL_ValidateCodecLoadSize integer overflow

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 8/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A vulnerability was identified in NASA cFS up to 7.0.0 on 32-bit. Affected is the function CFE_TBL_ValidateCodecLoadSize of the file cfe/modules/tbl/fsw/src/cfe_tbl_passthru_codec.c. The manipulation leads to integer overflow. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. A fix is planned for the upcoming version milestone of the project.
