A remote attacker on the adjacent network can exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted DHCP options, such as a malicious root-path, next-server, or bootfile name, to a system using dracut&#8217;s NetworkManager-based initrd network module. These options are improperly handled and written into a temporary shell script without proper escaping, leading to command injection. This allows the attacker to achieve root code execution within the initramfs during system boot.<\/p>\n<p>  Severity: 7.5 | HIGH<\/p>\n<p>  Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE ID :CVE-2026-16445 Published : July 21, 2026, 1:17 p.m. | 27\u00a0minutes ago Description :A flaw was found in dracut.
