Summary

CVE-2026-4149 is a critical-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Sonos Era 300 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Process Injection (T1055); ranked in the top 40% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

This vulnerability is an out-of-bounds memory access flaw in the Sonos Era 300 smart speaker that leads to remote code execution. It resides in the handling of the DataOffset field inside inbound SMB responses, where insufficient validation of attacker-supplied values permits access beyond the end of an allocated buffer. The resulting memory corruption occurs in kernel context and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.

Remote, unauthenticated attackers can send a crafted SMB response to an affected device and achieve arbitrary code execution without user interaction. The attack requires only network adjacency to the target and exploits the device’s SMB client implementation directly.

The issue was reported as ZDI-CAN-28345 and is covered by Zero Day Initiative advisory ZDI-26-192. No additional mitigation details are supplied in the available reference.

the handling of the DataOffset field within SMB responses. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory access past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the kernel. Was ZDI-CAN-28345.
