EUVD-2026-62405

No EUVD known-exploited evidence

stigmem-node 0.9.0a1 allows plugin signature enforcement to be disabled via a single configuration flag without a second explicit acknowledgment. If that setting is carried into an environment where plugin directories are writable by less-trusted users, unsigned (potentially malicious) plugin code could be loaded and executed, resulting in arbitrary code execution. Fixed in 0.9.0a2, which requires a second explicit acknowledgment to disable signature enforcement.

What, why and how

stigmem-node 0.9.0a1 allows plugin signature enforcement to be disabled via a single configuration flag without a second explicit acknowledgment. If that setting is carried into an environment where plugin directories are writable by less-trusted users, unsigned (potentially malicious) plugin code could be loaded and executed, resulting in arbitrary code execution. Fixed in 0.9.0a2, which requires a second explicit acknowledgment to disable signature enforcement.

What

stigmem-node 0.9.0a1 allows plugin signature enforcement to be disabled via a single configuration flag without a second explicit acknowledgment. If that setting is carried into an environment where plugin directories are writable by less-trusted users, unsigned (potentially malicious) plugin code could be loaded and executed, resulting in arbitrary code execution. Fixed in 0.9.0a2, which requires a second explicit acknowledgment to disable signature enforcement.

Why

The product downloads source code or an executable from a remote location and executes the code without sufficiently verifying the origin and integrity of the code.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

CWE-494 ↗

CWE-494: Download of Code Without Integrity Check. The product downloads source code or an executable from a remote location and executes the code without sufficiently verifying the origin and integrity of the code.

Post-exploitation / living off the land
After compromise, an attacker may use built-in shells, scripting engines, scheduled tasks and native network utilities for discovery, persistence or movement. This is a plausible LoTL path, not evidence that it has occurred for every attack.
