CVE detail

CVE-2026-6458

Missing cryptographic step in Caliptra Core Firmware (aes_256_gcm_update module) results in an incorrect GCM authentication tag. When the streaming AES-256-GCM API is used with empty AAD, the hardware GHASH accumulator state is not saved after the first update call, causing the final tag to exclude the first batch of processed ciphertext. Ciphertext produced by that call may be modified without the tag reflecting the change. This issue affects Core Runtime Firmware: from 2.0.0 through 2.0.1, 2.1.0.

External lookup

Potential internet exposure

Potential exposure only — not proof of vulnerability.Shodan results indicate potentially internet-exposed products, not confirmed vulnerable systems. They do not confirm that any returned system is vulnerable to CVE-2026-6458.

Product-level CPE searches intentionally omit version fields and NVD version-range or configuration certainty. Verify the exact product version and configuration independently.

Sign-in required. Shodan requires you to sign in to run these filter searches.

Product CPE queries

Derived from this CVE's existing NVD CPE 2.3 records; the application, operating-system, or hardware part is retained.

Product query unavailableNo valid raw CPE 2.3 product record is available for this CVE, so no product-level Shodan query is shown.

Eligible paid Shodan plan required

How this vector reads

CVSS 4.0 base metrics decoded below. This explanation does not recalculate or change the NVD score.

Attack Vector (AV): Adjacent. The attacker must reach the same or an adjacent network.
Attack Complexity (AC): Low. No special conditions beyond the attacker-controlled steps are required.
Attack Requirements (AT): None. No prerequisite deployment or execution condition is required.
Privileges Required (PR): Low. The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.
User Interaction (UI): None. Exploitation does not require a targeted user to act.
Vulnerable System Confidentiality (VC): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Integrity (VI): Low. There is a limited impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Availability (VA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Confidentiality (SC): Low. There is a limited impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Integrity (SI): Low. There is a limited impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Availability (SA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.

Optional CVSS v4 metrics remain in the raw vector; only base metrics are expanded here.
