CVE-2026-58092 is an improper privilege-management vulnerability in FreeBSD 15.0 and later affecting the mac_do policy module. Following a kernel credential-layout change that moved the primary group ID into a dedicated field, the group_is_primary() function retained logic that treated the first supplementary-group entry as the primary group. When mac_do applies a matching credential-transition rule that changes identity without explicitly specifying a target group, it can assign the resulting credential the first supplementary group ID from the original credential rather than the intended primary group. If the original credential has no supplementary groups, the resulting primary group ID becomes 0, the wheel group.

A FreeBSD 15.0 mac_do credential-handling flaw in group_is_primary() that can incorrectly assign a process primary group ID. Under specific applicable mac_do rules and an empty supplementary-group list, it can assign group ID 0 (wheel), potentially enabling further root privilege escalation depending on system configuration.
Medium-severity FreeBSD mac_do policy-module flaw in which certain rules can incorrectly assign a process to group ID 0 (wheel), potentially enabling escalation to root depending on configuration.
A FreeBSD 15.0 credential-switching flaw in group_is_primary() used by mac_do transition rules. Under constrained conditions, it can incorrectly assign a process a primary group ID of 0 (wheel), which may enable further privilege escalation to root depending on local rules and configuration.
