ThingsBoard v4.3.0.1 is vulnerable to an authentication bypass during the OAuth authorization code exchange. The application improperly trusts user-supplied identity data within the user parameter of the /login/oauth2/code/ endpoint. By manipulating the email address in this JSON object, a remote attacker can bypass authentication and gain full access to any existing user account on the platform without possessing the target user's credentials. This results in a complete account takeover.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in ThingsBoard IoT platform v4.3.0.1 lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker take over any account by tampering with the user-supplied 'user' JSON parameter during the OAuth2 authorization-code exchange at /login/oauth2/code/. Because the application trusts the attacker-controlled email in that object, swapping it for a victim's address yields a fully authenticated session with no credentials required. Publicly available exploit code exists (a POC gist), SSVC rates it automatable with total technical impact, but EPSS is low at 0.23% (14th percentile) and it is not on CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
ThingsBoard is an open-source IoT device-management and telemetry platform whose web login supports OAuth2/OIDC single sign-on. The flaw sits in the server-side handling of the OAuth2 authorization-code redemption endpoint (/login/oauth2/code/), where a JSON 'user' object carrying identity claims (notably the email) is accepted and trusted as-is rather than being bound to the identity provider's cryptographically verified token response. This is a textbook CWE-290 (Authentication Bypass by Spoofing): the platform maps the attacker-asserted email to an existing local account and issues a session, so identity is derived from client-controllable input instead of a validated IdP assertion.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no fixed version is present in the provided data, so upgrade to a specific patched release cannot yet be cited - monitor the ThingsBoard project for a release above 4.3.0.1 addressing CVE-2026-36537. As compensating controls, disable OAuth2/OIDC SSO login if it is not essential (trade-off: forces users back to local/basic credentials and breaks federated login), or restrict network access to the /login/oauth2/code/ endpoint and the admin UI to trusted networks/VPN via reverse-proxy or WAF rules (trade-off: complicates legitimate external SSO and mobile access). Where SSO must stay on, place a proxy/WAF rule that rejects requests supplying a client-controlled 'user' JSON body on the OAuth2 callback and enforce that identity is derived only from the IdP token, and closely monitor authentication logs for logins to privileged accounts from unexpected sources. Consult the NVD entry (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-36537) and the POC gist (https://gist.github.com/KKC73/b9d4efda05693882f1e613c0e0fac78d) to build detection signatures.
