> Google Pixel improper authorization vulnerability CVE-2026-58704 is being actively exploited in the wild.

CISA has added CVE-2026-58704, an improper authorization vulnerability in Google Pixel devices, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog based on evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability poses significant risk to federal and private-sector organizations, as improper authorization flaws are a frequent attack vector enabling adversaries to gain unauthorized access or control of affected devices. Federal civilian agencies are required under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04 to prioritize rapid remediation of KEV-listed vulnerabilities on publicly exposed assets that grant post-exploitation control. While BOD 26-04 is binding only on Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies, CISA encourages all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management practices and treat KEV-catalog entries as high-priority for patching. Organizations should check for potential compromise on devices patched after exploitation occurred.
