Summary

CVE-2026-50292 is a high-severity CRLF Injection (CWE-93) vulnerability in Freedesktop Libinput. Its CVSS base score is 7.4 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 24th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

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

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops untrusted data containing CRLF sequences from reaching the component that treats CRLF as a delimiter.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization and validation to block CRLF injection.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevents CRLF injection.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include rules for neutralizing special characters such as CRLF in inputs.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage safe handling of untrusted data but do not prescribe specific CRLF controls.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require neutralization of CRLF sequences, fully addressing this weakness.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance partial match
finds

Security testing can detect CRLF flaws but does not itself implement the neutralization.
