Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 15 Aug 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Linux kernel to eb94157a86cef9a151ccd4bc52faae1853d0fa0c, 299739909c486bcea7445f5c3b066fdbc0d2df96, 462775c620197adaabc983ce847e5b9878ff4cb0 or 0a2c89d538fd4fca07c6ebe4fe03cc932f962441.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: libata-core: Add NOLPM quirk for PNY CS900 1TB SSD The PNY CS900 1TB SSD (Phison PS3111-S11, DRAM-less) drops off the bus after entering Device-Initiated Slumber during idle. With the default med_power_with_dipm policy the link goes down (SStatus 1 SControl 300) and does not recover, forcing the filesystem read-only. Forcing max_performance keeps the link stable across prolonged idle. Add a NOLPM quirk so link power management is disabled for this drive specifically, leaving it intact for other devices on the host.
