HIGHCVSS 7.5/10EPSS 0.28%

Last modified

CVE-2026-8050 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In SignalRGB versions prior to 1.3.7.0, seven of the thirteen IOCTL handlers dereference the SystemBuffer pointer without first verifying that it is non-NULL. Sending an IOCTL with an empty input buffer causes a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a kernel crash.. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
