| Exploitation Conditions | The websocket handler of Fanvil X7A firmware version 2.6.0.1182 fails to enforce session/authentication restrictions, so exploitation requires only network reachability to the device's websocket/management interface - no credentials, session, or user interaction. The practical limiting factor is network exposure: these IP phones typically sit on internal/VoIP VLANs, so impact depends on whether the management interface is reachable from the attacker's position (adjacent LAN vs. exposed WAN). Exploitation is tied to this specific firmware version and the X7A product; devices on other firmware or with the websocket interface network-isolated are not reachable. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed but collectively point to a genuine access-control flaw rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 is driven by a fully remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) with high confidentiality and integrity impact, which aligns with CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function). SSVC reinforces this on technical severity: Automatable=yes and Technical Impact=total indicate a reliably scriptable attack with significant device compromise. However, SSVC Exploitation is explicitly 'none,' there is no CISA KEV listing and no POC referenced, and no EPSS score was provided - so there is currently no evidence of real-world exploitation, only strong theoretical exploitability. Note a tension between the CVSS impact scoring and the description: the description emphasizes reading device resources/logs and issuing diagnostic requests (clearly a confidentiality exposure), whereas the I:H integrity rating in the input vector is not strongly substantiated by the described capabilities - verify with the vendor advisory whether diagnostic requests can alter device state. Net assessment: a legitimately serious authentication-bypass bug on an exposed VoIP endpoint, but one whose practical urgency is tempered by the niche affected product and the absence of any confirmed exploitation or public exploit. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network reachability to a Fanvil X7A phone's management/web interface connects directly to the device websocket handler without establishing an authenticated session, and because sessionless users are not restricted, retrieves operational logs and issues diagnostic requests. This exposes sensitive device and network information and potentially device state changes. No public exploit code is identified, but the flaw is low-complexity and scriptable (SSVC Automatable=yes). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026
Unauthenticated network access to the WebSocket handler on Fanvil X7A desk phones running firmware 2.6.0.1182 exposes device internals: any client able to reach the interface can read operational logs and issue diagnostic requests without a session, credentials, or user interaction (CWE-306, missing authentication for a critical function). NVD rates this 9.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), while the independent assessment adjusts integrity impact to Low (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N) and treats the exposure as a genuine access-control flaw rather than a top-tier emergency. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis and CISA's SSVC decision point records no observed exploitation, so practical risk hinges on whether the phone's WebSocket/management interface is reachable beyond the local VoIP VLAN.
RemediationAI
No patched firmware version is identified in the available references, so the primary action is to check Fanvil's X7A firmware release directory (http://download.fanvil.com/Firmware/Release/X7A/) and the vendor product page (https://www.fanvil.com/products/p1/x/20210921/5043.html) for a build newer than 2.6.0.1182 and apply it once the vendor confirms a fix; track the DarkPoint disclosure (https://www.darkpoint.ca/blog/2026/02/27/Fanvil-x7a-PA2S-Vulnerability-Disclosure) and NVD (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-70516) for patch status. Until a fix is confirmed, the effective compensating controls are network-level: place X7A phones on an isolated VoIP VLAN and block access to the phone's management/WebSocket interface from user, guest, and WAN segments, since the flaw requires only network reachability and no credentials; where remote management is not needed, disable the remote/cloud management and provisioning options on the device, accepting that this also removes remote diagnostics and centralized provisioning. Restricting management access has the trade-off of complicating remote support and mass configuration, and any firewall change must keep the signaling/RTP paths required for call service intact; additionally, monitor device logs centrally so that diagnostic-request abuse is visible from a segment the phone itself cannot log to, and treat any phone that has been exposed on an untrusted network as potentially inspected and consider credential rotation for its provisioning account.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is an authentication-enforcement gap in the WebSocket handler of embedded firmware on the Fanvil X7A IP desk phone. The handler accepts requests from clients that never established a valid session, so it fails to distinguish authenticated administrators from anonymous network peers; this maps to CWE-306, Missing Authentication for Critical Function, where a function intended to be privileged is exposed without any check on the caller's identity. Because WebSocket runs over the same management stack that serves device configuration and diagnostics, unauthenticated requests translate directly into disclosure of operational logs and execution of diagnostic routines, and the assessed vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms the issue is remotely reachable and unauthenticated rather than requiring local access or social engineering. Affected scope is version-specific: the description names firmware 2.6.0.1182 on the X7A model, while EUVD (EUVD-2025-211051) lists affected versions as "n/a n/a" and the supplied CPE string is a placeholder (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*), meaning there is no authoritative CPE mapping and version/scope confirmation must come from the vendor and the DarkPoint disclosure rather than from NVD's CPE inventory. The impact profile is consistent with an embedded-VoIP management plane where the interface is normally confined to internal VLANs; the assessment's C:H/I:L split reflects high confidentiality loss (logs, device resources) with more limited integrity effect than NVD's C:H/I:H rating.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The websocket handler of Fanvil x7a firmware version 2.6.0.1182 does not enforce proper authentication restrictions against sessionless users. The lack of restrictions grants anyone the ability to view any device resources such as operational logs or perform diagnostic requests.
Executive ViewAI
Fanvil X7A desk phones running firmware 2.6.0.1182 contain a critical missing authentication flaw that allows unauthenticated network users to read operational logs and issue diagnostic requests. This exposure can lead to sensitive information disclosure and potential manipulation of device functions if the vulnerable interface is reachable beyond trusted network segments. Leadership should prioritize mitigation because no vendor patch is currently available and the flaw affects VoIP infrastructure that often carries sensitive communications.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include network segmentation to isolate affected phones, restricting WebSocket access to trusted management hosts only, disabling the WebSocket service if not operationally required, implementing firewall rules to block unauthorized access, and monitoring logs for suspicious diagnostic requests.
