ATT&CK techniques
No public source states how this vulnerability is exploited in ATT&CK terms.
The only authoritative CVE → ATT&CK mapping in the open — CTID's Mappings Explorer, pinned to a KEV snapshot of 2025-07-28 and ATT&CK 16.1 — does not include CVE-2026-88779. This entry was added to KEV on 2026-10-04, after that snapshot; of the 343 entries added since, 0 have a mapping. CISA's catalogue carries no technique field. kevmap does not infer techniques from the CWE (CWE-119) — here is why — and does not guess.
