CVE-2026-7328

Status: Awaiting AnalysisMedium (6.8)—

Missing authorization in Caliptra Core Runtime Firmware (INVOKE_DPE_MLDSA87, CM_AES_GCM_DECRYPT_DMA, EXTERNAL_MAILBOX_CMD commands) in subsystem mode allows a privileged local attacker to cause a denial of service via mailbox commands containing unverified AXI addresses. The security impact beyond availability is integration-specific.

This issue affects Core Runtime Firmware: 2.1.0.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
