# CVE-2026-25506: munge: MUNGE (MUNGE Uid 'N' Gid Emporium) is an authentication service for creating and validating credentials CVE-2026-25506 is fixed in 7 products on 1 platform, first by DLA-4477-1, released February 10, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-25506 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.8 (Important) - EPSS: 0.0034 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Feb 10, 2026 ## Description MUNGE (MUNGE Uid 'N' Gid Emporium) is an authentication service for creating and validating credentials. It is designed to be highly scalable for use in an HPC cluster environment. It allows a process to authenticate the UID and GID of another local or remote process within a group of hosts having common users and groups. These hosts form a security realm that is defined by a shared cryptographic key. Clients within this security realm can create and validate credentials without the use of root privileges, reserved ports, or platform-specific methods. Security Fix(es): * MUNGE: MUNGE has a buffer overflow in message unpacking allows key leakage and credential forgery (CVE-2026-25506) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released |
