Companion Hub CVE-2026-36028
MEDIUMSeverity by source
AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Physical access is the attack vector; factory reset requires no credentials (PR:N); full CIA impact as kiosk bypass yields complete device control.
Primary rating from Vendor (mitre).

A protection mechanism failure in the Code 27 Companion Hub allows an attacker with physical access to completely bypass kiosk restrictions via a factory reset
AnalysisAI
Kiosk restriction bypass in the Code 27 Companion Hub allows an attacker with physical device access to perform a factory reset that completely circumvents the kiosk protection mechanism, granting full control over the device. The flaw (CWE-288) represents a protection mechanism failure where an alternate path - the factory reset function - is not gated by the same access controls as the restricted kiosk environment. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Physical access to the Code 27 Companion Hub is the sole prerequisite - no network connectivity, credentials, or prior authentication is required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is moderate and tightly bounded by the physical access prerequisite. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An adversary with brief physical access to an unattended Code 27 Companion Hub - for example, a kiosk in a retail or public-facing environment - triggers the device's factory reset function, which is accessible without authentication and outside the kiosk restriction layer. The factory reset dismantles all kiosk controls, returning the device to a configurable state that grants full operating system or application access. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version has been identified at time of analysis; affected version boundaries and fix availability should be confirmed directly via the vendor advisories at https://code.com and https://companion.com. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
