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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within 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

CVE published 19 Feb 2026

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

To mitigate CVE-2026-2692, organizations should first check for and apply any official patches or updates from CoCoTeaNet addressing this vulnerability. If patches are not yet available, implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'Avatar' parameter to prevent directory traversal sequences (e.g., '..', '%2e%2e'). Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block path traversal attempts targeting the /api/system/user/getAvatar endpoint. Restrict file system permissions for the CyreneAdmin service account to limit access only to necessary directories, minimizing potential damage from traversal exploits. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or attempts to access unauthorized files. Network segmentation and limiting exposure of CyreneAdmin interfaces to trusted networks can reduce remote attack vectors. Finally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on API endpoints to detect similar vulnerabilities proactively.

Description

A vulnerability was found in CoCoTeaNet CyreneAdmin up to 1.3.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /api/system/user/getAvatar of the component Image Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument Avatar results in path traversal. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-2692 is unauthorized access to files on the affected server due to path traversal. This can lead to sensitive information disclosure, including configuration files, credentials, or other critical data stored on the system. While the vulnerability does not directly affect integrity or availability, the information gained could facilitate further attacks such as privilege escalation or lateral movement within a network. Organizations using CyreneAdmin in sensitive environments, such as enterprise IT management or critical infrastructure, face increased risk of data breaches. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the attack surface, potentially allowing attackers to scan and exploit vulnerable instances at scale. The public availability of exploit code raises the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, especially against unpatched or poorly monitored systems.
