CVE-2026-93541: Out-of-bounds read in libXi's XQueryDeviceState()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • 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: 0.26% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: X.org libXi 1.8.4; azl3 libXi 1.8.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 1.8.4-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to X.org libXi 1.8.4; azl3 libXi 1.8.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 1.8.4-1 or later.
