Last modified
CVE-2026-6420 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.3/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in Keylime.

EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
A flaw was found in Keylime. An attacker with root access on an enrolled monitored machine, where the Keylime agent runs, can exploit a vulnerability in the Keylime verifier. The verifier uses a hardcoded challenge nonce for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) quote attestation instead of a cryptographically random value. This allows the attacker to stockpile valid TPM quotes and replay them to evade detection after compromising the system. This issue affects only the push model deployment.
