Description
Copeland XWEB EVO versions 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 have a critical vulnerability involving hardcoded credentials. The Administrator web account uses a daily password mode that does not validate any stored secret, allowing attackers who can derive the MAC-based daily password to authenticate as Administrator and gain full admin access. This product line reached end of service in March 2026.
