CVE-2026-27871: cwe-327 Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm in Johnson Controls TL280
CVE-2026-27871 is a vulnerability in Johnson Controls TL280 devices before version 5.63 involving the use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm. This weakness could allow a cryptanalytic attack, potentially compromising the confidentiality or integrity of data protected by the affected cryptography. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.9, indicating limited impact and exploitability. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-27871 affects Johnson Controls TL280 devices running versions prior to 5.63. It involves the use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CWE-327), which could be susceptible to cryptanalytic attacks. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack can be performed remotely with low complexity and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vendor has not published any remediation or patch information, and no exploits are known in the wild.
Potential Impact
The use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm may allow attackers to perform cryptanalytic attacks, potentially leading to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the affected system. However, the low CVSS score and absence of known exploits suggest the practical impact is limited at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should monitor vendor communications for updates. No specific mitigation steps are provided by the vendor at this time.
