The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires the attacker to already hold an active Socket.IO connection to the MiroTalk P2P signaling server (PR:L - a joined/connected peer, not fully unauthenticated), and to supply a target peer's socket id (peer_id) to the 1:1 relay handlers (relayICE/relaySDP and related presenter/room handlers). The pre-patch code lacked a check that caller and target share a room, so a connected socket could reach peers of other rooms by guessing or learning their socket id. Limiting factors: the actor must have a live socket on the server, must know or guess a valid target socket id, and impact is confined to WebRTC signaling relay (ICE/SDP) rather than direct server or data-store compromise; no user interaction is required. Updating to 2.1.39 is the vendor-stated remediation.

Impact

This is a medium-severity access-control flaw (CWE-284), not a high-priority emergency. The input CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) scores 5.3 and, with PR:L, requires an authenticated/connected actor - so this is network-reachable but not fully unauthenticated. No EPSS score is provided and there is no CISA KEV listing, so there is no public evidence of active exploitation; the only exploitation signal is a third-party GitHub 'vulnerability-reports' reference, which is a PoC reference rather than verified working exploit code. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a real-but-moderate issue that should be remediated on a normal patch cadence rather than an act_now/emergency fix. Note a data discrepancy: the NVD/VulDB description attributes the flaw to a 'CheckPassword' function and 'peer_id' manipulation, but the vendor patch commit (4e40471) actually adds room-membership authorization (isPeerInSameRoom/isPeerInRoom) to the relayICE, relaySDP and related Socket.IO relay handlers - verify the exact mechanism with the vendor, as the description and source evidence do not fully align. Overall: a legitimate authorization weakness with low per-signal impact and no confirmed exploitation, warranting timely but not emergency patching.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An actor with an active Socket.IO connection to a MiroTalk P2P signaling server supplies another participant's socket id as peer_id to a relay handler, causing ICE/SDP signaling to be relayed to or from peers in rooms the actor never joined. This enables cross-room signaling exposure or injection by guessing or learning a target socket id. A public PoC reference exists (third-party GitHub report); it is not verified as working exploit code.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026

Improper access control in the Socket.IO signaling handlers of MiroTalk P2P through version 2.1.38 (and the 2.0.87 line) allows a peer that already holds a live socket connection to the server to reach other peers' WebRTC signaling channels by supplying a target's peer_id, bypassing room isolation. The impact is limited to signaling relay manipulation (ICE/SDP and related room/presenter events) with low confidentiality, integrity and availability effects - assessed as a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 3.1 5.3, PR:L), not an emergency. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; the vendor has released version 2.1.39 to fix it.

RemediationAI

Upgrade MiroTalk P2P to version 2.1.39, which the vendor states resolves the issue; the change is contained in upstream commit 4e40471abc48bfc32b4b174b8844716dfc5c1471 (https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalk/commit/4e40471abc48bfc32b4b174b8844716dfc5c1471), so rebuilding from the 2.1.39 tag or pulling a container image built from it applies the added isPeerInSameRoom/isPeerInRoom authorization checks on the relayICE, relaySDP, presenter and room-targeted Socket.IO handlers. Operators running 2.0.x should move to 2.1.39 as well, since the 2.0.87 line is listed as affected. No vendor-documented workaround or configuration toggle is provided in the available sources - the patch notes describe updating as the fix - so deployments that cannot upgrade immediately carry the residual risk inherent to the medium-severity, connected-peer-only exposure described in the advisory (https://vuldb.com/vuln/430300). There is no CISA KEV deadline associated with this CVE, so scheduling the upgrade within the current monthly patch cycle matches the assigned priority.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MiroTalk P2P is a WebRTC video-conferencing application whose Node.js backend (app/src/server.js) runs a Socket.IO signaling server that brokers ICE candidates and SDP offers/answers between browser peers. Rooms are tracked in a server-side peers map keyed by room_id and socket id; the vulnerable code paths accepted a client-supplied peer_id in the 1:1 relay events (relayICE, relaySDP) and in presenter/room-targeted handlers without verifying that the caller and the target were joined peers of the same room, so a connected socket could address peers in other rooms by guessing or learning their socket ids. The class is CWE-284 (Improper Access Control): the missing authorization check on an object reference rather than a memory-safety defect. The fix commit 4e40471abc48bfc32b4b174b8844716dfc5c1471 adds an isPeerInSameRoom(socket, target_id, room_id) helper plus isPeerInRoom(room_id, peer_id) guards on each relay/presenter handler, and hardens isPeerInRoom to validate string types, use Object.hasOwn on the peers map and exclude room metadata keys. The CVE description attributes the issue to the CheckPassword function of app/src/server.js, while the released patch modifies the Socket.IO relay and room handlers described above; the trigger conditions in the advisory sources are limited to attacker-supplied peer_id handling.
