| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions beyond network reachability - remote unauthenticated exploitation of the WinShare network communication service against affected versions (WebSAM WinShare 7.2.0 through 7.5.0, 7.6.0, and 7.7.0 through 7.7.2 on Windows). The attacker only needs to send a crafted packet to the port on which the WinShare service listens; no credentials, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are indicated by the vector (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L/AT:N). The primary limiting factor is network exposure: risk is sharply reduced if the WinShare listening port is not reachable from untrusted networks (e.g., firewalled or restricted to a management segment), and only the listed version ranges on Windows are affected. The exact mechanism of the improper input validation is not described in the available sources. |
| Impact | This is a genuine top-priority vulnerability, not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk case. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes the worst-case exposure: network-reachable, low attack complexity, no attack requirements, and no privileges or user interaction needed, with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact on the vulnerable system (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H). The description reinforces this - a remote unauthenticated attacker achieves arbitrary command execution at SYSTEM level via a single crafted network packet, which is the maximum-severity outcome for a Windows service. The vuln.today decision label is 'act_now', consistent with the 9.3 score. However, several corroborating signals are MISSING rather than conflicting: there is no EPSS score in the input, no CISA KEV listing, and no PoC or exploit reference beyond the NEC vendor advisory. So while the intrinsic severity and the trigger prerequisites all point to high risk, there is currently no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation or public exploit code - the urgency rests on exploitability potential and the vendor/priority labeling, not on observed attacks. Treat as urgent to patch, but note that active-exploitation claims cannot be substantiated from the provided data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network reachability to a host running WebSAM WinShare sends a single crafted network packet to the service's listening port. Because input validation in the network communication processing is improper, the packet is parsed in a way that lets the attacker run arbitrary commands in the context of the WinShare service, which runs as SYSTEM. No authentication, credentials, or user interaction are required (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N); no public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 09, 2026
Remote, unauthenticated command execution as SYSTEM is possible against NEC WebSAM WinShare on Windows - versions 7.2.0 through 7.5.0, 7.6.0, and 7.7.0 through 7.7.2 - because the product's network communication processing fails to properly validate input. An attacker who can reach the WinShare listening port needs only to send a crafted network packet; the assessed vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) confirms no credentials, no user interaction, and no special preconditions beyond network reachability, yielding full compromise of confidentiality, integrity and availability. vuln.today's priority decision is act_now, reflecting a genuine top-priority case rather than a high-score/low-risk artifact; no CISA KEV entry or public exploit code is identified in the available sources, and the practical risk is dominated by whether the service port is exposed to untrusted networks.
RemediationAI
The provided data does not enumerate a specific fixed build for each branch, so the primary action is to consult NEC Security Information nv26-006 (https://jpn.nec.com/security-info/secinfo/nv26-006_en.html) and apply the vendor-released update for the affected branch - 7.2.0 through 7.5.0, 7.6.0, and 7.7.0 through 7.7.2 - since a SYSTEM-level remote command execution flaw in a network-facing service is not adequately addressed by configuration alone. Until the vendor update is in place, the decisive compensating control is exposure reduction: block the WinShare listening port at network boundaries and restrict it to a trusted management segment so that only known administrative hosts can reach the service, which the assessed vector indicates sharply lowers risk because exploitation requires network reachability. The trade-off is that remote management and agent communication from other segments will stop working until corresponding firewall rules or VPN paths are added, so scope the restriction to untrusted sources rather than cutting off legitimate operators. No additional mitigations are specified in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw sits in the network communication processing of NEC's WebSAM WinShare, a Windows-hosted IT asset and operations management product, and is classified as CWE-749 (Exposed Dangerous Method or Function) with the description framing the root cause as improper input validation. In practical terms, a function or service interface that should only ever be invoked with well-formed, trusted input is reachable over the network and accepts attacker-supplied data, so a crafted packet can steer execution to the point where commands run with SYSTEM privileges. CPE data pins the affected package to nec_corporation:websam_winshare (wildcarded version), with the vendor's advisory covering the Windows builds in the 7.2.x-7.5.0, 7.6.0 and 7.7.0-7.7.2 ranges. The supplied sources do not state precisely which parsing routine or protocol field is at fault, so the exact trigger - the specific packet structure or the code path reached - is not described in the available sources; what is confirmed is the network-facing entry point and the SYSTEM-level outcome.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Input Validation in the network communication processing in NEC Corporation WebSAM WinShare Ver 7.2.0 through 7.5.0, Ver 7.6.0 and Ver 7.7.0 through 7.7.2 on Windows allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges via a crafted network packet sent to the computer on which WinShare is running.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-113363 poses a critical remote takeover risk to NEC WebSAM WinShare, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute commands as SYSTEM on affected Windows systems. This means any exposed WinShare port could let an outsider fully compromise the server, stealing data, altering configurations, or causing outages, with potential ripple effects across managed endpoints.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting network access to the WinShare listening port via firewall rules or network segmentation, and closely monitoring for unusual activity on affected systems.
