CVE-2026-3587 is a critical vulnerability (CVSS 3.1 score of 10.0; AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) classified under CWE-912 (Hidden Functionality). Published on 2026-03-23, it involves a hidden function within the CLI prompt of an affected device that allows escape from the restricted interface. This flaw enables unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve full compromise of the device.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation grants high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, along with a change in scope, culminating in complete device takeover.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Maintaining and reviewing a documented baseline configuration allows comparison that reveals any functionality absent from the approved specification.

Least-functionality configuration explicitly prohibits or restricts any capability not required by the approved baseline, blocking hidden additions.

Developer testing and evaluation activities are designed to discover undocumented or unspecified functionality after it has been introduced.

Documented development processes and standards require all functionality to be specified and visible, structurally preventing undocumented hidden features.

An SDLC that incorporates security engineering principles mandates that all product functions be part of the approved specification.

PR.PS-06 full match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent introduction of undocumented hidden functionality during development.

ID.RA-09 mostly match
prevents

Pre-acquisition integrity/authenticity checks can detect undocumented hidden functions in supplied software/hardware.

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance can discover undocumented functionality before release.

prevents

Change management processes can catch unauthorized additions but do not inherently prevent hidden functionality from being introduced.

finds

Monitoring activities can detect anomalous behavior from hidden functions but do not eliminate the weakness.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates documented requirements and design reviews that would expose undocumented hidden functionality.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly define expected functionality, making hidden features a violation.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require transparent, documented designs that preclude hidden functionality.
