CVE-2026-87122 Overview
CVE-2026-87122 is a rejected CVE identifier. The MITRE CVE Program marked this entry as a reservation duplicate and removed all technical content. Security teams should reference CVE-2026-85984 instead, which is the authoritative record for the underlying vulnerability.
Rejected CVEs do not describe active security issues. They exist in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) to prevent accidental reuse of the identifier and to redirect users to the correct record.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-87122
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2026-87122 contains no technical vulnerability data. The CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) rejected this identifier because it duplicates a prior reservation tracked under CVE-2026-85984. The MITRE CVE Program removes all references and descriptions from rejected candidates to prevent accidental usage in vulnerability management workflows.
Rejection typically occurs when two CVE IDs are reserved for the same underlying issue. This can happen when multiple researchers report the same flaw, or when a CNA reserves an identifier before discovering an existing entry. The consolidation preserves a single source of truth for downstream consumers.
Security practitioners scanning vendor advisories, ticketing systems, or SBOM tooling may still encounter this identifier. Treat any reference to CVE-2026-87122 as a pointer to CVE-2026-85984.
Root Cause
The root cause of the rejection is administrative. Two CVE identifiers were reserved for the same vulnerability, and the CVE Program consolidated tracking under the earlier identifier. No software defect is described in this record.
Attack Vector
No attack vector applies to CVE-2026-87122. Review CVE-2026-85984 for the exploitation details, prerequisites, and impact metrics associated with the underlying issue.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-87122
Indicators of Compromise
