CVE-2026-92160: NASA F Prime FileDownlink integer overflow bypass

CVE-2026-92160 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-14

F Prime is a framework used to develop and deploy embedded software for spacecraft and other critical systems. A vulnerability in the FileDownlink component allows an attacker with the ability to send commands to trigger a denial-of-service condition by causing the spacecraft software to crash or reset during file download operations, potentially disrupting mission-critical functionality.

Technologies: Nasa F Prime. Vendors: Nasa.

Technical details

A U32 integer overflow in the Svc::FileDownlink SendPartial method bypasses file-range validation when a caller supplies a length parameter that wraps when added to the startOffset. This causes m_byteOffset to exceed m_endOffset, leading to an out-of-bounds read attempt that triggers an FW_ASSERT and aborts the process. The vulnerability requires an attacker capable of invoking the SendPartial command with a source file larger than the supplied startOffset.

Affected products
