Am I affected?

Run the version check that matches your platform:

# Linux
dpkg -s easergy 2>/dev/null | grep -i version
rpm -q easergy 2>/dev/null
easergy --version 2>/dev/null

Compare what you see against the Affected row above (Schneider Electric Easergy MiCOM P14x All versions prior to B4A; Schneider Electric Easergy MiCOM P24x All versions prior to D3A; Schneider Electric Easergy MiCOM P341 All versions prior to E3F; Schneider Electric Easergy MiCOM P342, P343, P344, P345 All versions prior to B3F (and 4 more editions — see vendor advisory)). If your build sits inside that range, you are exposed and should patch.

How to fix CVE-2026-4832

The primary fix is to upgrade Easergy MiCOM P14x to the patched build. Use the commands for your platform below; the patched version listed in the vendor advisory is: See vendor advisory.

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade easergy
easergy --version 2>/dev/null || dpkg -s easergy | grep -i version

RHEL / CentOS / Rocky / AlmaLinux

sudo dnf upgrade --security easergy -y
rpm -q easergy

SUSE / openSUSE

sudo zypper patch --category security
rpm -q easergy

If you can't patch immediately

If you cannot apply the patched version today, restrict exposure with one of the following runnable controls. None replace the patch.

Network restriction (Linux, nftables)

# Block inbound traffic to the affected service from untrusted networks
sudo nft add table inet filter
sudo nft 'add chain inet filter input { type filter hook input priority 0 ; }'
sudo nft 'add rule inet filter input tcp dport {443, 80} ip saddr != 10.0.0.0/8 drop'
sudo nft list ruleset

Service-level fallback

# If the affected feature is optional, stop the service until the patch is applied
sudo systemctl stop easergy
sudo systemctl disable easergy

How to verify the fix worked

# Linux
easergy --version 2>/dev/null || dpkg -s easergy | grep -i version
rpm -q easergy 2>/dev/null || true

# Windows
winget list | findstr /I "easergy"
Get-HotFix | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending | Select-Object -First 5

Expected: the reported version is at or above the patched build documented in the advisory. Restart any services that loaded the old library (systemctl restart <service> on Linux, restart the Windows service or reboot when prompted). For network appliances, run show version on the device and confirm the build matches the patched release.

Is CVE-2026-4832 actually being exploited?

According to the data sources above, no public confirmation of in-the-wild exploitation at this time. Either way, the fix is the same: apply the vendor patch.

Do I need to reboot after patching?

For OS or kernel updates, yes. For most userland packages a systemctl restart <service> is enough. Any process that loaded the old shared library keeps using it until restarted, so when in doubt, reboot.

What is the CVSS score?

6.9 (medium). Refer to the vendor advisory for the exact vector string.

Where is the official advisory?
