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 2 Nov 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.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), 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.

Description

CVE-2026-58978 is a vulnerability involving a logic error that may allow permission bypass in multiple locations of the affected software. This flaw could enable physical escalation of privilege without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction.

Impact

The impact is a potential permission bypass that allows escalation of privileges on the physical system without needing additional execution privileges or user interaction. This could enable an attacker with physical access to gain higher privileges than intended by the system's security model.

Summary

This vulnerability arises from a logic error in the code that causes permission checks to be bypassed in multiple locations. Exploitation does not require user interaction and can lead to escalation of privileges on the physical device. No CVSS score or detailed technical specifics are provided in the available data.
