It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16528 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ASUS Router. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16528/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16528/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16528","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16528/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16528","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jh3c-v2fg-3q6f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ASUS router firmware","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can extract DDNS credentials from system logs to modify DNS settings on ASUS routers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ASUS","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-532","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File"}],"description":"Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File in certain ASUS router models allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain DDNS credentials from the system log, potentially enabling modification of DNS settings.Refer to the ' Security Update for ASUS Router Firmware  ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in Router","id":"CVE-2026-16528","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Pcp: pcp: denial of service due to signed integer overflow","id":"CVE-2026-16529"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Pcp: pcp pmproxy: unauthenticated access to /store endpoint allows bypassing pmcd access rules","id":"CVE-2026-16527"},"products":["Router"],"published":"2026-10-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-21","vendors":["ASUS"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can extract DDNS credentials from system logs to modify DNS settings on ASUS routers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16528/"}
