Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 7 Feb 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement network-level protections such as firewall rules to restrict access to the /api/info/long_task endpoint only to trusted internal IP addresses or VPN users. Deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block abnormal request patterns targeting this endpoint can help mitigate exploitation attempts. Monitoring application logs and network traffic for unusual spikes or repeated requests to the vulnerable endpoint is critical for early detection. Rate limiting requests to the /api/info/long_task endpoint can reduce the risk of resource exhaustion. If possible, isolate COCO Annotator instances in segmented network zones to limit exposure. Organizations should also prepare for rapid patch deployment once the vendor releases a fix and consider alternative annotation tools if the risk is unacceptable. Regular backups and incident response plans should be updated to address potential denial of service scenarios. Engaging with the vendor or community forums for updates and workarounds is recommended.

Description

A vulnerability was determined in jsbroks COCO Annotator up to 0.11.1. This impacts an unknown function of the file /api/info/long_task of the component Endpoint. This manipulation causes denial of service. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-2108 is denial of service, which can disrupt the availability of the COCO Annotator service. Organizations relying on this tool for image annotation in AI, machine learning, or computer vision workflows may experience interruptions, delaying development and operational processes. This can affect research labs, AI startups, and enterprises integrating COCO Annotator into their pipelines. The lack of authentication or user interaction requirements lowers the barrier for attackers to exploit the vulnerability remotely, potentially enabling automated attacks. While the impact on confidentiality and integrity is none, availability degradation can lead to productivity loss and operational downtime. The public disclosure without a vendor patch increases the window of exposure, raising the risk of exploitation by opportunistic attackers or competitors. Organizations with internet-facing COCO Annotator instances are particularly vulnerable. The impact is more pronounced in environments where COCO Annotator is critical to business or research operations, especially if no compensating controls are in place.
