Description

CVE-2026-67870 is a critical vulnerability in open62541 version 1.5.5 where the server-side AddReferences implementation does not fully validate non-local ExpandedNodeId targets. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted AddReferencesRequest with an empty targetServerUri and a non-zero targetNodeId.serverIndex, causing a NULL pointer dereference during execution.
