Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Nov 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: 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

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 13 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

For the libcurl vulnerability CVE-2026-11856, remediation is available by upgrading to libcurl version 8.21.0 or later. If upgrading is not possible, mitigation requires correct usage of the libcurl API by creating a fresh easy handle for each different HTTP origin or explicitly clearing authentication state before reuse. For the Red Hat AI Base Images 3.4.8 (CPU) product, no fixes are currently available. No vendor-provided mitigations or workarounds are currently available for the AI Base Images product itself.

Description

A security advisory from Red Hat addresses multiple vulnerabilities affecting Red Hat AI Base Images 3.4.8 (CPU), including CVE-2026-11856, a moderate severity flaw in libcurl. This libcurl vulnerability involves incorrect reuse of Digest authentication headers across different HTTP origins, potentially leading to unintended information disclosure. The advisory does not list any fixes for the Red Hat AI Base Images 3.4.8 (CPU) product itself. The libcurl flaw is fixed in version 8.21.0, affecting versions from 7.10.6 up to 8.20.0. No known exploits in the wild have been reported for these issues. The advisory covers multiple CVEs but provides detailed technical information only for CVE-2026-11856.

Impact

The primary impact is information disclosure due to libcurl incorrectly sending Digest authentication headers to unintended HTTP origins. This could expose authenticated session state to unauthorized parties, potentially compromising confidentiality. The flaw does not leak credentials themselves but the authenticated state header. No integrity or availability impacts are reported. No known exploitation in the wild has been observed. The overall severity is rated as high by Red Hat for the advisory, with CVE-2026-11856 specifically rated moderate for libcurl. The Red Hat AI Base Images 3.4.8 (CPU) product has no fixes currently available for these issues.

Implementation
Ensure that any possibly sensitive data specified in the requirements is verified with designers to ensure that it is either a calculated risk or mitigated elsewhere.
System Configuration
Setup default error messages so that unexpected errors do not disclose sensitive information.

Base weaknessOWASP Top 10 A07:2025: Authentication Failures (opens in a new tab)
The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
Architecture and Design · Implementation
Certificates should be carefully managed and checked to assure that data are encrypted with the intended owner's public key.
Implementation
If certificate pinning is being used, ensure that all relevant properties of the certificate are fully validated before the certificate is pinned, including the hostname.

Architecture and Design
Avoid using cookie data for a security-related decision.
Implementation
Perform thorough input validation (i.e.: server side validation) on the cookie data if you're going to use it for a security related decision.
Architecture and Design
Add integrity checks to detect tampering.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #5
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…

Base weakness
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
CWE-190Integer Overflow or Wraparound (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: Medium
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
Requirements
Ensure that all protocols are strictly defined, such that all out-of-bounds behavior can be identified simply, and require strict conformance to the protocol.
