Unauthenticated network request yields a full session token (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L); compromising the deployment server extends to managed endpoints, so S:C with C/I/A all High.

2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability in Wapt Server before version 2.6.1.17813 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass security restriction using a specially crafted packet and retrieve a valid session token for the targeted account.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Tranquil IT Wapt Server before 2.6.1.17813 lets a remote unauthenticated attacker send a specially crafted packet to obtain a valid session token for a targeted account, yielding full account takeover of the endpoint-deployment console. Because Wapt Server orchestrates software installation across managed endpoints, a stolen operator/admin session effectively grants control over the fleet it manages. Rated CVSS 4.0 10.0 with subsequent-system impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Wapt (by Tranquil IT Systems, cpe:2.3:a:tranquil_it_systems:wapt_server) is a software packaging and deployment platform used to push and manage applications, patches, and configuration to Windows/Linux/macOS endpoints from a central server - comparable in role to WSUS or SCCM. The flaw maps to CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel): rather than exploiting a memory-corruption bug, the attacker reaches session establishment through a request path that does not enforce the normal authentication check, and the server returns a legitimate session token. The 'specially crafted packet' phrasing indicates the bypass is in how the server processes a specific request/protocol message during session handling, not in credential validation of the intended login flow.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Wapt Server to 2.6.1.17813 or later, per the Tranquil IT security bulletin (https://www.wapt.fr/en/doc/wapt-security-bulletin.html) and changelog (https://www.wapt.fr/en/doc/wapt-changelog.html#wapt-2-6-1-17813-2026-06-09). Until the upgrade is applied, restrict network reachability of the Wapt Server management interface: place it behind a VPN or firewall so only trusted management subnets can reach it, and remove any direct internet exposure - the trade-off is that remote or field endpoints may lose direct check-in until they connect through the VPN. Monitor server logs for anomalous session-token issuance and unexpected package-deployment jobs, and rotate/invalidate existing operator sessions after patching in case tokens were already harvested. Because this is an authentication bypass rather than a configurable feature, there is no reliable in-product feature toggle workaround - network isolation plus prompt patching is the actionable path.
