High CVSS 7.7
CVE-2026-59542
Subscriber Arbitrary File Deletion in Kali Forms <= 2.4.18 versions.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can take the service offline. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- An attacker-supplied file path is not confined, letting them read or write outside the intended folder.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
