Network-reachable WebSocket API exploitable by any authenticated low-privileged user with no user interaction; pure DoS via reboot gives A:H with C:N/I:N.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the WebSocket API due to insufficient validation and handling of JSON-based requests. A low-privileged authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted request that causes service disruption and may result in an unexpected device reboot.
AnalysisAI
Denial-of-service in Moxa NPort 6000-G2 Series serial device servers allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker to disrupt service and potentially trigger an unexpected device reboot via specially crafted JSON requests to the WebSocket API. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.1 reflects high availability impact with no confidentiality or integrity loss. Per current intelligence, there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Moxa NPort 6000-G2 Series are industrial serial-to-Ethernet device servers commonly deployed to bridge legacy serial equipment (Modbus, RS-232/422/485) to TCP/IP networks in OT and ICS environments. The vulnerability resides in the management WebSocket API's JSON request handler, which performs insufficient validation of input - consistent with CWE-1287 (Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input). Malformed or unexpected JSON structures cause the WebSocket service to fail in a way that propagates into a device-wide fault, ultimately rebooting the appliance and severing serial-over-IP traffic until it returns to service.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis in the provided input; consult the Moxa PSIRT advisory MPSA-268270 at https://www.moxa.com/en/support/product-support/security-advisory/mpsa-268270-cve-2026-10825-improper-validation-of-input-vulnerability-in-serial-device-servers for the fixed firmware build for your specific NPort 6000-G2 model and apply it during a planned maintenance window since the device reboots on update. Until a patch is deployed, restrict network reachability of the device's web/WebSocket management interface to a dedicated management VLAN or jump host (trade-off: legitimate remote administration becomes more cumbersome), disable or block the WebSocket management endpoint at an upstream firewall if your operational model allows HTTP-only management (trade-off: loses real-time UI features that depend on WebSocket), and audit local accounts to remove unnecessary low-privileged users since PR:L is the exploitation prerequisite (trade-off: may impact field technicians who relied on shared low-privilege accounts).
