An upstream fix is merged but not yet released — mitigate (WAF / firewall / segmentation) until the release ships, then apply it.

A reachable assertion vulnerability exists in YARA 4.5.8 when loading crafted .yrc compiled rule files. An attacker can provide a malicious file with an invalid arena configuration (num_buffers=0) that triggers an assertion failure in yr_arena_get_ptr(), causing the application to terminate.

EG Risk 41/100

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

How it’s computed (value × EchelonGraph’s weight)

Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed its CVE.org record (CNA or CISA ADP). An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). "EchelonGraph re-scored" is our own recompute of this CVE's score, not an update from a source, and is not counted in the refreshes above. Most recent first.

Frequently asked(5)

What is CVE-2026-88341?
CVE-2026-88341 is a medium-severity vulnerability; its CVE record was published on September 22, 2026. A reachable assertion vulnerability exists in YARA 4.5.8 when loading crafted .yrc compiled rule files. An attacker can provide a malicious file with an invalid arena configuration (num_buffers=0) that triggers an assertion failure in yr_arena_get_ptr(), causing the application to terminate.
When was the CVE record for CVE-2026-88341 published?
The CVE record for CVE-2026-88341 was published on September 22, 2026. That is the record's publication date; the vulnerability itself may have been made public earlier. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of September 24, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2026-88341 actively exploited?
CVE-2026-88341 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (4th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2026-88341?
CVE-2026-88341 has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.5 (CISA-ADP / Vulnrichment enrichment; NVD's own analysis pending).
How do I remediate CVE-2026-88341?
An upstream fix for CVE-2026-88341 has been merged but is not yet in a tagged release. Until it ships, restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation, then update to the release that contains the fix. The vendor advisories EchelonGraph has for CVE-2026-88341 are linked in the Vendor Advisories panel on this page.
