Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 26, 2026
Privilege escalation in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK allows a malicious guest VM with GPU access to send crafted commands that trigger out-of-bounds memory writes beyond the guest's virtualized GPU boundaries. Affected versions include 26.1 RTM1, 1.18 RTM2, 23.2 RTM2, 24.2 RTM2, and 25.1 RTM2 through 25.3 RTM. No active exploitation or public exploit has been observed; EPSS probability is 0.14% (very low) and CISA SSVC indicates neither exploitation nor automatable attack patterns, suggesting low real-world risk despite a high CVSS score of 7.8.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Kernel software installed and running inside a Guest VM may post improper commands to the GPU Firmware to trigger a write of data outside the Guest's virtualised GPU memory.
Software installed and run under a Guest VM can send commands to the GPU which result in out of bounds memory accesses. These can be used to escalate privileges.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
