CIFSwitch (CVE-2026-46243)

Writeup

[!WARNING] The PoC is provided solely to help defenders, maintainers, and authorized security teams validate patches, mitigations, detections, and exposure on systems they own or are explicitly authorized to test.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of this material is lawful, authorized, controlled, and conducted in an isolated test environment.

Notes

GCC is required -- the PoC builds two inlined C helpers, a fake NSS library (to write the sudoers.d entry) and a trigger that gets cifs.upcall to enter the PoC's private namespace and load the fake NSS library.

The PoC assumes common x86_64 NSS module directories -- adjust if necessary.
