Am I affected?

Check the version of inseri core you are running and compare it against the Affected row above (inseri core 0 to <=1.0.5). If your build sits inside the affected range, you must patch.

Run the version check that fits your platform:


# Linux package check
dpkg -s inseri-core 2>/dev/null | grep -i ^Version
rpm -q inseri-core 2>/dev/null
command -v inseri-core >/dev/null && inseri-core --version 2>/dev/null


# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-Package -Name "*inseri core*" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object Name, Version
winget list --name "inseri core" 2>$null

How to fix CVE-2026-27344

Upgrade inseri core to a patched build: See vendor advisory. The vendor advisory is the source of truth for the exact fixed version.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade inseri-core
dpkg -s inseri-core | grep -i ^Version

RHEL / CentOS / Rocky / AlmaLinux


sudo dnf upgrade --refresh inseri-core -y
# or for older releases:
sudo yum update inseri-core -y
rpm -q inseri-core

SUSE / openSUSE


sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper update inseri-core
rpm -q inseri-core

If you can't patch immediately

Apply at least one of the following inline controls until you can deploy the patched build. None replace the upgrade.

Restrict exposure with nftables (Linux)


# Allow only trusted CIDR to reach the affected service ports
sudo nft add table inet filter 2>/dev/null || true
sudo nft 'add chain inet filter input { type filter hook input priority 0 ; }' 2>/dev/null || true
sudo nft 'add rule inet filter input tcp dport {80, 443} ip saddr != 10.0.0.0/8 drop'
sudo nft list ruleset

Block at the host firewall (Windows)


New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block-CVE-2026-27344" -Direction Inbound -Action Block -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 80,443 -RemoteAddress Any -Enabled True
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block-CVE-2026-27344"

Disable the affected service (Linux)


sudo systemctl stop inseri-core 2>/dev/null || true
sudo systemctl disable inseri-core 2>/dev/null || true

If the vendor advisory lists an official workaround, prefer that wording verbatim. If no workaround is published, the only safe remediation is the patch.

How to verify the fix worked

After upgrading, confirm the installed version matches the patched build and that no old library is still loaded by a long-running process.


# Linux
dpkg -s inseri-core 2>/dev/null | grep -i ^Version
rpm -q inseri-core 2>/dev/null || true
# Pid map check for old library handles
sudo lsof +c0 2>/dev/null | grep -i "DEL.*lib" || true


# Windows
Get-Package -Name "*inseri core*" | Select-Object Name, Version
Get-HotFix | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending | Select-Object -First 5

Expected: the reported version is at or above See vendor advisory. Restart the affected service (systemctl restart <service> on Linux, or restart the Windows service) so it loads the patched binary.
