Key Takeaways
How It Works
The exploitation of CVE-2026-88772 occurs during a cryptographic handshake, where malformed DTLS record headers cause memory corruption. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary shellcode with root privileges on the FreeBSD platform.
They then install web shells that modify server configurations to treat non-script files as executable PHP scripts, enabling persistent access.
