## Summary

The AIS update mechanism downloads and runs code without properly verifying that it is authentic, because it relies on hashes that are ignored or checksums that can be forged, and some update paths also allow archive traversal or script execution. An attacker can reach this remotely over the network, without logging in and without any action from the user, and can use it to run code of their choosing with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-118462 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

### What does this mean?

The AIS update mechanism runs update code without checking that it is genuine. Someone who changes or replaces update files could get arbitrary code to run on the affected system.
