An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-88837 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat Hardened Images. 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-2026-88837/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88837/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-88837","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88837/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-88837","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-88837","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-88837","ECHO-f105-a15f-8af6","GHSA-f9qv-fq2p-pvch","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-88837"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BusyBox httpd","requires_auth":"none","summary":"BusyBox httpd incorrectly treats yescrypt password hashes as plaintext, allowing attackers to bypass Basic Authentication.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-305","name":"Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness"}],"description":"BusyBox httpd treats yescrypt ($y$) password hashes as plaintext during Basic Authentication, inverting the authentication check.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Busybox: busybox: httpd misidentifies yescrypt password hashes as plaintext, inverting authentication","id":"CVE-2026-88837","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Busybox: busybox: non-root mount option filter bypass allows clearing fstab security restrictions","id":"CVE-2026-88838"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Red Hat Product Security determined this is not a security vulnerability.","id":"CVE-2026-88836"},"products":["Red Hat Hardened Images"],"published":"2026-09-23","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-25","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"BusyBox httpd incorrectly treats yescrypt password hashes as plaintext, allowing attackers to bypass Basic Authentication.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88837/"}
