CIFSwitch is the newest kernel-7-era LPE not already in the corpus: a
~19-year-old logic flaw in fs/smb/client/cifs_spnego.c where the
cifs.spnego request-key type accepts key descriptions created by
userspace (add_key(2)/request_key(2)) without verifying the request came
from the in-kernel CIFS client. The description's authority-bearing
fields (pid/uid/creduid/upcall_target) are trusted by the root cifs.upcall
helper; with user+mount namespace tricks an unprivileged user coerces
cifs.upcall into loading an attacker NSS module as root. Fixed upstream by
3da1fdf4efbc (merged 7.1-rc5); CWE-20; not in CISA KEV.
Takes the corpus to 42 modules / 37 CVEs.
🟡 honest port — full chain not VM-verified. detect() gates on the kernel
version (Debian backports 5.10.257/6.1.174/6.12.90/7.0.10) AND on the
cifs userspace path (cifs.upcall / cifs.spnego request-key rule), so a
vulnerable kernel without cifs-utils is PRECOND_FAIL not a false positive
(override via SKELETONKEY_CIFS_ASSUME_PRESENT=1/0). exploit() fires only
the non-destructive add_key(2) cifs.spnego probe (no upcall, loads
nothing, revoked immediately) and returns EXPLOIT_FAIL without a euid-0
witness — the namespace+NSS root-pop is not bundled until VM-verified.
--mitigate blocklists the cifs module; --cleanup reverts.
Wired everywhere: registry, Makefile, safety rank (86), 6 detect() test
rows (env-driven precondition override), CVE_METADATA.json + cve_metadata.c
+ KEV_CROSSREF.md (sorted insert, CWE-20/T1068/not-KEV), README + CVES.md
+ website counts (42/37) and a yellow module pill, RELEASE_NOTES v0.9.10,
verify-vm target (sweep pending). Credit: Asim Manizada. Version 0.9.10.

notes: "CVE-2025-32462; sudo -h/--host policy bypass (Stratascale, sibling of sudo_chwoot). Ubuntu 18.04 ships sudo 1.8.21p2, inside the vulnerable range [1.8.8, 1.9.17p0] (fixed 1.9.17p1), so detect() returns VULNERABLE on the version gate. Exercising exploit() empirically needs a sudoers rule scoped to a host other than the box hostname (and not ALL): provision e.g. 'vagrant fakehost = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' in /etc/sudoers.d/, then 'SKELETONKEY_SUDO_HOST=fakehost skeletonkey --exploit sudo_host --i-know' pops root via 'sudo -h fakehost /bin/bash'. Brand-new addition this cycle; provisioner + sweep pending."

notes: "CVE-2026-46243 'CIFSwitch'; cifs.spnego key type trusts userspace-forged authority fields (Asim Manizada, 2026-05-28). Fixed 5.10.257 / 6.1.174 / 6.12.90 / 7.0.10 (Debian backports of commit 3da1fdf4efbc, mainline 7.1-rc5); a ~19-year-old bug below those. Mainline 6.12.89 is one below the 6.12.90 backport so the version gate flags VULNERABLE — but detect() ALSO requires the cifs userspace path: provision cifs-utils (so /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall + the cifs.spnego request-key rule exist) and `modprobe cifs`, else detect() returns PRECOND_FAIL (or force with SKELETONKEY_CIFS_ASSUME_PRESENT=1). exploit() fires the non-destructive add_key(2) cifs.spnego probe and reports the forged-key accept as the primitive witness; the namespace+NSS root-pop is not bundled until VM-verified. Brand-new addition this cycle; provisioner (cifs-utils install) + sweep pending."
