CVE-2026-76458 - Vulnerability Details

- Cisco NX-OS Software Security Hardening Release: October 2026 - Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions Vulnerabilities

Description

As part of Cisco's ongoing commitment to proactive security and product quality, the Cisco NX-OS engineering team has conducted a comprehensive internal security review. This review resulted in a software hardening release that addresses multiple internally discovered vulnerabilities.

The vulnerabilities tracked by CVE-2026-76458 are related to improper handling of exceptional conditions issues that are grouped under the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) CWE-703.

Published: 2026-10-07

Score: 8.6 High

EPSS: < 1% Very Low

KEV: No

Analysis

Impact

The flaw stems from an improper handling of exceptional conditions in Cisco NX‑OS software. When an exception occurs, the system may respond unpredictably, potentially halting services or becoming unresponsive, which can be exploited to deny availability of network infrastructure. The vulnerability aligns with CWE‑703 and carries a high CVSS score of 8.6, indicating significant potential for harm if an attacker can trigger the defective code path.

Affected Systems

Affected items include Cisco NX‑OS Software, Cisco NX‑OS System Software in ACI Mode, and Cisco Unified Computing System (Managed). No specific version numbers are provided in the advisory, so administrators should review all NX‑OS deployments for applicability.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score reflects a severe flaw, but the EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack vector is not explicitly documented; however, the nature of the exception handling suggests that either local or remote conditions could invoke the flaw depending on deployment. Given the high severity and lack of detailed exploitation evidence, the risk remains high and warrants prompt remediation.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
