MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a legitimate administrator of the Ebyte NE2-D11 device have an active authenticated browser session to the device's web management interface at the time they visit the attacker-controlled page - the administrator's session cookie is automatically included by the browser in the forged request. The web management interface must be enabled and reachable from the administrator's browser (i.e., accessible from the network segment where the administrator's workstation resides). No special device configuration beyond the default web management interface being active is required. The attacker requires no credentials or direct network access to the device. Exploitation is limited by: (1) the need to successfully social-engineer a specific authenticated administrator, raising the bar above opportunistic exploitation; (2) the administrator's browser must be able to reach the device management interface (same network segment or routed path); and (3) the forged request cannot read response data due to the browser's same-origin policy, limiting confidentiality impact to what can be triggered by blind state-changing requests. |
| Impact | CVSS 4.0 scores this 8.6 (High) with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, reflecting network reachability, low attack complexity, no attacker privileges required, and high impact on the vulnerable device. The key limiting factor is UI:A - active administrator interaction is required, preventing fully automated or mass exploitation and placing this firmly in the targeted social engineering threat category rather than opportunistic scanning. EPSS probability data was not provided in the available intelligence, leaving statistical exploitation likelihood unquantified. No CISA KEV listing and no public POC exploit has been identified, consistent with a newly disclosed ICS advisory without yet-observed mass exploitation. The ICS/OT context meaningfully elevates practical risk: configuration changes on industrial networking equipment can cascade into operational disruptions, and administrators of embedded OT devices may be higher-value social engineering targets than typical corporate IT staff. The CVSS 4.0 VC:H metric warrants scrutiny - classical CSRF is constrained by the browser's same-origin policy from reading responses, suggesting the confidentiality impact may be overstated relative to the integrity and availability impact, which are well-supported by the description. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker researching the target organization identifies Ebyte NE2-D11 devices via industrial network scanning or public documentation, then crafts a webpage containing hidden HTML forms or JavaScript fetch calls targeting the device's management interface API endpoints. The attacker sends a spear-phishing email to a network administrator with a pretext link; when the administrator clicks while their browser session is authenticated to the device, the browser silently submits the forged request, changing the device's network configuration or triggering a reboot. No public POC exploit has been identified, but the attack class is well-understood and easily implemented against CSRF-unprotected targets. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv3 – Aug 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in the Ebyte NE2-D11 firmware's web management interface allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger unauthorized configuration changes or disrupt device availability on ICS/OT networking hardware. The attack requires social engineering an authenticated administrator into visiting a malicious webpage, at which point the administrator's browser silently submits forged requests to the management interface. Reported by ICS-CERT under advisory ICSA-26-237-06, all known firmware versions are affected with no confirmed patched release identified at time of analysis, and no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been observed.
Earlier versions of this analysis (2)
Cross-site request forgery in the Ebyte NE2-D11 firmware web management interface allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger unauthorized configuration changes or disrupt device availability by persuading an authenticated administrator to visit a crafted page. The attack requires no privileges from the attacker but depends on social engineering an active admin session, consistent with the CVSS 4.0 UI:A metric. Reported via ICS-CERT as advisory ICSA-26-237-06, this affects OT/ICS environments where NE2-D11 devices are deployed; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Cross-site request forgery in the Ebyte NE2-D11 web management interface enables a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause an authenticated administrator to unknowingly submit malicious requests, resulting in unauthorized configuration changes or a loss of device availability. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:R) confirms the attacker requires no credentials but must socially engineer a logged-in admin into visiting a crafted page. Reported via CISA ICS-CERT advisory ICSA-26-237-06, this is an OT/ICS-context finding with no public exploit or KEV listing identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Consult the CISA ICS advisory ICSA-26-237-06 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-237-06) and the CSAF document at https://github.com/cisagov/CSAF/blob/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2026/icsa-26-237-06.json for any vendor-released firmware update - no specific patched version was confirmed in the available intelligence and Ebyte should be contacted directly for patch availability. As compensating controls pending a firmware fix, restrict access to the NE2-D11 web management interface to dedicated, isolated management VLANs or jump hosts, which prevents attacker-controlled web content from reaching the interface even if an administrator is socially engineered; note this will require administrative workflow changes for remote management. Disable the web management interface entirely and use out-of-band or CLI-based management if operationally feasible. Train administrators handling OT device management not to browse general web content or click unsolicited links during active management sessions. Implementing network-level firewall rules to block inbound connections to the device's management port from untrusted segments reduces the attack surface without requiring a firmware change.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected product is the Ebyte NE2-D11, an ICS/OT network device, with all firmware versions implicated per CPE cpe:2.3:a:ebyte:ebyte_ne2-d11_firmware:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery): the web management interface does not implement anti-CSRF tokens, Origin/Referer header validation, or SameSite cookie attributes, meaning a browser authenticated to the device will unconditionally submit state-changing requests forged by any third-party page. In the ICS context, web management interfaces on embedded devices frequently lack modern web security primitives, making CSRF a persistent and underaddressed weakness class. The attack exploits the browser's implicit trust model rather than a memory corruption or logic flaw in the device firmware itself.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The Ebyte device does not adequately verify the origin or authenticity of requests submitted to the web management interface. An unauthenticated remote attacker could persuade an authenticated administrator to visit a crafted page, causing unauthorized configuration changes or a disruption of device availability.
Executive ViewAI
Ebyte NE2-D11 industrial networking equipment used in OT environments contains a web interface vulnerability that allows remote attackers to trigger unauthorized configuration changes or service disruption. No vendor patch is currently available; exploitation requires tricking an authenticated administrator into visiting a malicious website, but the resulting device compromise could impact production uptime across operational technology networks.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting web management interface access to VPN-protected administrative networks, disabling web-based management if alternative protocols are available, implementing network segmentation to isolate affected devices, enforcing DNS filtering and browser controls to prevent administrator access to malicious sites, providing security awareness training on social engineering, and implementing configuration change monitoring to detect unauthorized modifications.
