Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to first obtain a valid authentication token from exposed session information for the NE2-D11 web management interface - the description explicitly conditions the attack on 'access to exposed session information,' consistent with CWE-598 where the token leaks through URL query strings, browser history, HTTP Referer headers, or intermediary/proxy logs. The device must be network-reachable by the attacker for token replay (AV:N), and no additional authentication or user interaction is needed once the token is held (PR:N/UI:N). The limiting factor is obtaining that leaked token: an attacker with no path to observe the session material (e.g., a properly segmented, HTTPS-only deployment with no token logging) cannot mount the attack, which constrains real-world exploitation below what the raw 9.3 score implies.

Impact

The signals are mixed. The vendor/CISA CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) scores 9.3 CRITICAL and models the attack as network-reachable, low-complexity, and requiring no privileges or user interaction. However, the description qualifies exploitation as requiring 'access to exposed session information,' which is a real precondition the base vector's AC:L/PR:N does not fully capture - the attacker must first obtain a leaked token (via logs, referer, shared network path, or proxy) rather than exploiting a wholly unauthenticated remote entry point. There is no CISA KEV listing and no POC referenced, so this is not confirmed active exploitation; EPSS was not provided. Realistically this is a high-priority patch for exposed OT/ICS gateways given the total-compromise impact and network vector, but the practical attack depends on the token actually being exposed somewhere the attacker can reach - verify the specific leakage path with the vendor advisory.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with visibility into an NE2-D11 administrator's session information - for instance by reading a token that appears in a URL captured in proxy logs, browser history, or a shared/monitored network segment - copies the valid authentication token and replays it against the device's web management interface. Because the gateway trusts the token alone, the attacker is granted an authenticated session and can reconfigure the device, alter serial-to-network bridging, or disrupt the connected OT process. No public POC is referenced, and the attack hinges on first obtaining the exposed token.

AnalysisAIv2 – Aug 28, 2026

Authentication token theft and session impersonation affects the web management interface of Ebyte NE2-D11 industrial gateway firmware, where session tokens are insufficiently protected during client-side handling (CWE-598). An attacker able to observe exposed session information can capture and replay a valid token to impersonate an authenticated operator and gain full control of device management functions. The flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3 and was disclosed via CISA ICS-CERT (ICSA-26-237-06); no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Aug 27, 2026 - 23:55 CVSS 9.8

Session token exposure in Ebyte NE2-D11 gateway firmware lets a network attacker who can observe client-side session information capture a valid web-management token and replay it to impersonate an authenticated operator. The flaw (CWE-598) stems from tokens being handled insecurely on the client side rather than protected against leakage, granting full access to device management functions. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; it is documented in CISA ICS advisory ICSA-26-237-06.

RemediationAI

No specific vendor-released fixed firmware version is identified in the provided data, so consult CISA ICSA-26-237-06 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-237-06) and the linked CSAF file for the vendor's remediation and any patched firmware build, and apply the vendor-supplied firmware update once identified. As compensating controls until then: remove the gateway's web management interface from any internet or untrusted network exposure and restrict it to a dedicated management VLAN or jump host (trade-off: administrators must connect through the segmented path); place the interface behind a reverse proxy or firewall rule that blocks external access to the management port (trade-off: remote admin convenience is reduced); enforce HTTPS-only access and strip/avoid logging URLs containing tokens at any proxy or SIEM to limit token leakage (trade-off: reduced request logging visibility); and rotate/invalidate sessions and shorten session lifetimes where the firmware permits. Because the weakness is token exposure, minimizing the paths where the token can be observed is the key mitigation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the embedded web management interface on Ebyte NE2-D11 firmware (cpe:2.3:a:ebyte:ebyte_ne2-d11_firmware), a serial-to-Ethernet / IoT gateway used to bridge industrial serial devices onto TCP/IP networks. The root cause maps to CWE-598 (Use of GET Request Method With Sensitive Query Strings / improper protection of authentication tokens), a class where session credentials are exposed client-side - for example transmitted in URL query strings, cached in browser history, leaked in HTTP Referer headers, or logged by intermediate proxies - rather than being confined to a hardened, short-lived cookie. Because the token is not adequately bound or protected, anyone who can read that exposed session material can reuse it directly, since the device grants access based solely on possession of the token.

DescriptionCVE.org

An improper protection of authentication tokens vulnerability exists in certain Ebyte gateway products. Authentication tokens used by the web management interface are insufficiently protected during client-side session handling, which may allow an attacker with access to exposed session information to obtain and reuse a valid token. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to impersonate an authenticated user and gain unauthorized access to device management functionality.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Ebyte NE2-D11 industrial gateway firmware contains a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-76179, CVSS 9.3) enabling attackers to steal and replay authentication tokens to impersonate authorized operators with full management access. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. Organizations operating this gateway face risk of unauthorized control of critical infrastructure systems, with no vendor patch currently available, representing a direct threat to operational continuity.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement network-layer protections: restrict web management interface access to dedicated secure administrative networks only, disable remote access if operationally feasible, enforce multi-factor authentication if supported, monitor for suspicious session behavior and token usage patterns, maintain detailed audit logs of all management interface activity, and establish 24/7 monitoring for indicators of compromise specific to this device model.
