It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-7656 exists.\n\nAffected product: Zephyrproject Zephyr. 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-2026-7656/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-7656/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-7656","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-7656/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-7656","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cpjw-rvwx-ph9f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Zephyr RTOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass IPv6 Neighbor Discovery validation to spoof Router Advertisements and Neighbor messages, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks and traffic redirection.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"zephyr","cpe":[{"product":"zephyr","vendor":"zephyrproject"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-670","name":"Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation"},{"id":"CWE-290","name":"Authentication Bypass by Spoofing"}],"description":"The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery handlers in subsys/net/ip/ipv6_nbr.c (handle_ra_input, handle_ns_input, handle_na_input) used an incorrect boolean expression that combined the RFC 4861 validity checks with the ICMPv6 code check using the wrong operator precedence: the form was ((length/hop/source/target checks) \u0026\u0026 (icmp_hdr-\u003ecode != 0)). Because every legitimate ND message carries ICMPv6 code 0, an attacker setting code == 0 (the normal value) caused the entire predicate to evaluate false, so the packet was never dropped and all of the other checks were silently skipped. The bypassed checks include the mandatory Hop Limit == 255 verification (which proves an ND packet originated on-link and was not forwarded) and, for Router Advertisements, the requirement that the source be a link-local address, as well as multicast-target sanity checks. As a result, an adjacent on-link attacker — and, because the Hop-Limit-255 guard is bypassed, potentially a remote/off-link attacker whose packets would otherwise be rejected — can have forged Router Advertisement, Neighbor Solicitation, and Neighbor Advertisement messages accepted. A forged RA lets the attacker reconfigure the victim's default router, on-link prefixes (SLAAC), MTU, reachable/retransmit timers, and (with CONFIG_NET_IPV6_RA_RDNSS) DNS servers, while forged NS/NA enable neighbor-cache poisoning, enabling man-in-the-middle, traffic redirection, and denial of service. The flaw is an input-validation/authentication weakness rather than a memory-safety issue: the underlying packet-parsing primitives (net_pkt_get_data, net_pkt_read, net_pkt_skip) are independently bounds-safe and the validated length is the true buffer length, so skipping the length check causes no out-of-bounds access. The defect has existed since the logic was introduced in 2018 and shipped in all releases through v4.4.0; it is fixed by splitting the condition so any failing check drops the packet.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Broken IPv6 Neighbor Discovery input validation allows spoofed RA/NS/NA acceptance in Zephyr net stack","id":"CVE-2026-7656","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"zephyrproject:zephyr","products":["zephyrproject:zephyr"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Langflow OSS is affected by server-side request forgery in provider validation and API request functionality","id":"CVE-2026-7657"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SureCart \u003c= 4.2.3 - Unauthenticated Linked WordPress Account Takeover via Forged customer.updated Webhook","id":"CVE-2026-7655"},"products":["zephyr"],"published":"2026-06-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Out-of-bounds read/write in HTTP WebSocket upgrade via non-null-terminated Sec-WebSocket-Key","id":"CVE-2026-5067","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Bluetooth HCI Error Handling Double Free","id":"CVE-2022-3806","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in getaddrinfo","id":"CVE-2017-14199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-1000800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-06"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DOS: Incorrect handling of the initial HCI ACL_MTU handshake packet leads to crash of bluetooth host layer","id":"CVE-2021-3329","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-26"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DoS: Invalid Initialization in le_read_buffer_size_complete","id":"CVE-2023-0397","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-19"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Usb bluetooth device ACL read cb buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2021-3966","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["zephyrproject"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass IPv6 Neighbor Discovery validation to spoof Router Advertisements and Neighbor messages, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks and traffic redirection.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-7656/"}
