Critical CVSS 9.8
CVE-2026-52134
NVD analysis in progress
An issue in the parseGoosePayload() function (/goose/goose_receiver.c) of libiec61850 v1.6 allows attackers to bypass authentication via a captured GOOSE frame.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Access control is applied incorrectly, leaving a protected resource reachable without the required rights.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
