CVE-2026-6805: CWE-280 Improper handling of insufficient permissions or privileges in Ercom Cryptobox
CVE-2026-6805 is a medium severity vulnerability in Ercom Cryptobox's external sharing feature. It allows an attacker who knows a sharing link URL to retrieve information from the server that facilitates an offline brute-force attack against the access code protecting that link. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of insufficient permissions or privileges (CWE-280). 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
This vulnerability in Ercom Cryptobox involves the external sharing feature where an attacker with knowledge of a sharing link URL can obtain server information enabling an offline brute-force attack on the access code associated with that link. The root cause is improper handling of insufficient permissions or privileges (CWE-280). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and low impact on confidentiality. No patch or official remediation level has been published by the vendor, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
An attacker who obtains a sharing link URL can attempt an offline brute-force attack to guess the access code protecting the shared resource. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to information shared via Cryptobox. However, the impact on confidentiality is rated low according to the CVSS vector, and there is no indication of impact on integrity or availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider limiting the distribution of sharing links and monitor for suspicious access patterns. No vendor-provided mitigation or temporary fix is currently available.
