CVE-2026-5433: CWE‑77 – Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Honeywell International Inc. Control Network Module (CNM)
CVE-2026-5433 is a critical command injection vulnerability in Honeywell International Inc.'s Control Network Module (CNM) web interface. The flaw involves improper neutralization of special elements (CWE-77), allowing an attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary commands remotely. Affected CNM versions include 100.1, 101.1, 110.1, and 110.2. Honeywell recommends updating to the most recent version 200.1 to mitigate this issue. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1, indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild as of the publication date.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Honeywell Control Network Module (CNM) contains a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) in its web interface. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject commands via command delimiters, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE). The affected versions are 100.1, 101.1, 110.1, and 110.2. Honeywell advises upgrading to version 200.1 or later to address this issue. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.1, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patch link is provided, but the vendor's recommendation to update to version 200.1 constitutes the remediation guidance.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary commands remotely on the affected CNM devices, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. This could disrupt control network operations and potentially impact critical infrastructure managed by Honeywell CNM devices.
Mitigation Recommendations
Honeywell recommends updating affected CNM devices to the most recent version 200.1 or later. This update addresses the command injection vulnerability. No other mitigation or temporary fixes are provided. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed beyond the vendor's recommendation to update; users should verify with Honeywell for the latest advisory and patch availability.
