CVE-2026-77545
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-77545 is a critical-severity Active Debug Code (CWE-489) vulnerability in Ui (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.0 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 12th 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 CM-2 (Baseline Configuration) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Baseline configuration defines the approved production state that must exclude active debug code.
Least functionality explicitly prohibits enabling unnecessary debug or diagnostic features in production builds.
Documented development standards and tools can require removal of debug code before release.
Security-integrated SDLC processes ensure debug artifacts are stripped prior to deployment.

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.
Secure SDLC practices directly require removal of debug code before release, covering most of this weakness while the control addresses many other development issues.

Secure development life cycle mandates removal of debug code before release.
Secure coding standards explicitly prohibit leaving debug code active in production.
Security testing in development and acceptance catches active debug code before deployment.
Separation of environments reduces risk of debug code reaching production but does not directly address its removal.
Change management can enforce removal of debug code as part of release gates.
Configuration management can disable or remove debug features through hardened baselines.
