Overview

CVE-2026-80769 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 4, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: rapoo: fix missing hid_is_usb() check

to_usb_interface() can only be used on a hid_device whose parent is really

USB; uhid can create devices that identify as being on BUS_USB, but don't

actually have a USB parent.

Fix the use of to_usb_interface() without a hid_is_usb() check.

Add a dependency on USB_HID for hid_is_usb(), as other HID drivers do; the

alternative would be to provide a simple stub implementation on !USB_HID

builds.

I have verified that it is currently possible to trigger a kernel splat due

to this bug in an ASAN build, and that this commit fixes the issue.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-80769?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-80769 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
