The CVE record's CNA (Checkmk GmbH) lists Checkmk GmbH Checkmk versions 2.5.0 up to but not including 2.5.0p14, 2.4.0 up to but not including 2.4.0p37 and 2.3.0 up to but not including 2.3.0p51 as affected. No release containing a fix is confirmed on record.

Improper handling of highly compressed data (data amplification) in Checkmk <2.5.0p14, <2.4.0p37, <2.3.0p51 and 2.2.0 (EOL) allows an attacker who controls a host registered for push mode to exhaust the memory of the agent receiver by sending a small zlib compressed payload that decompresses to an arbitrary size.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

No fix is confirmed yet. Check the vendor's advisory for a fixed release; until one is applied, restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation on your normal schedule.

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

What is CVE-2026-77021?
CVE-2026-77021 is a medium-severity vulnerability; its CVE record was published on September 21, 2026. Improper handling of highly compressed data (data amplification) in Checkmk <2.5.0p14, <2.4.0p37, <2.3.0p51 and 2.2.0 (EOL) allows an attacker who controls a host registered for push mode to exhaust the memory of the agent receiver by sending a small zlib compressed payload that decompresses to an…
When was the CVE record for CVE-2026-77021 published?
The CVE record for CVE-2026-77021 was published on September 21, 2026. That is the record's publication date; the vulnerability itself may have been made public earlier. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of September 21, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2026-77021 actively exploited?
CVE-2026-77021 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (32nd percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2026-77021?
CVE-2026-77021 has a CVSS base score of 5.3 (a secondary CVSS source that NVD displays; NVD's own analysis pending).
How do I remediate CVE-2026-77021?
No fix for CVE-2026-77021 is confirmed yet. Until one is published, restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation — for example, keep it off the internet or limit it to trusted networks — and watch the vendor's advisory for the fix. The CVE record's CNA (Checkmk GmbH) lists Checkmk GmbH Checkmk versions 2.5.0 up to but not including 2.5.0p14, 2.4.0 up to but not including 2.4.0p37 and 2.3.0 up to but not including 2.3.0p51 as affected. No release containing a fix is confirmed on record. The vendor advisories EchelonGraph has for CVE-2026-77021 are linked in the Vendor Advisories panel on this page.
