Overview

CVE-2026-89620 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-quickspi: validate report size before copy

write_cmd_to_txdma() builds an output report in qsdev->report_buf, a heap

buffer allocated in quickspi_alloc_report_buf() to the device-descriptor

derived max_report_len (a few hundred bytes for a touch controller). It

copies the caller-supplied report into that buffer:

memcpy(write_buf->content, report_buf, report_buf_len);

The HID core caps a report at HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16384) by default, and

quickspi_hid_ll_driver does not set max_buffer_size, so the length reaches

the driver unbounded. A hidraw SET_REPORT/SET_FEATURE ioctl carrying a

report larger than max_report_len therefore overflows report_buf with

attacker-controlled length and content.

Record the report_buf allocation size and reject reports that do not fit

before copying, matching the equivalent guard in the intel-quicki2c

sibling (quicki2c_init_write_buf()) and the hid-goodix

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89620?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89620 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.
