CWE-287: Improper Authentication vulnerabilities

CVE-2026-49194 is a critical improper authentication vulnerability in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router. The issue arises from a debugging routine named SCREEN_CLICK(5053) that allows bypassing the standard device login prompt and directly accessing an interactive shell interface without authentication. This vulnerability has a high CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4, indicating severe impact potential. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time. The affected versions are not explicitly stated.

CVE-2026-49191 is a critical improper authentication vulnerability in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router. The M3WebServer component hard-codes backend API keys in the production build, which can be intercepted due to verbose error handling pages. This exposure allows attackers to potentially bypass authentication mechanisms.

The local MQTT broker does not enforce topic-level Access Control Lists (ACLs). This allows any client to subscribe using wildcard characters (# or +) to enumerate hidden network devices or publish rogue control commands.

CloudburstMC Protocol is a protocol library for Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Prior to version 3.0.0.Beta12-20260420.182526-15, CloudburstMC Protocol is partially missing validation for FULL type authentication tokens (Cloudburst/Protocol). This vulnerability impacts publicly accessible software depending on the affected versions of Protocol, specifically the EncryptionUtils methods to validate auth payloads for FULL type tokens. This issue has been patched in version 3.0.0.Beta12-20260420.182526-15.

The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an insecure password reset mechanism in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1. The plugin stores a plaintext copy of the password reset key in the `arm_reset_password_key` user meta field when a user requests a password reset. This is in addition to the hashed key that WordPress core stores securely in `wp_users.user_activation_key`. The plaintext key stored in `wp_usermeta` can be used with the plugin's custom `armrp` reset action to set a new password for any user. Combined with another vulnerability such as SQL Injection (CVE-2026-5073, CVE-2026-5074), this makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the plaintext reset key and take over any user account, including administrators.

Improper Authentication in REST API in Collibra Agent, allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to access privileged functionality via exposed '/rest/* endpoints.

Really Simple Security WordPress plugin versions before 9.5.10.1 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability. The plugin fails to enforce the second-factor challenge on two of its two-factor authentication REST endpoints. This allows an attacker who knows a user's password to obtain a valid WordPress authentication session without completing the required email OTP challenge. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) and has a high severity with a CVSS score of 7.5.

Authentication Bypass in cf-auth-proxy in Cloud Foundry Foundation all installations allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain read access to every log and metric for every application and platform component via minting a JWT that the cf-auth-proxy accepts as a valid logs.admin token. Affected versions: - log-cache_release: all versions through v3.2.6 (inclusive); fixed in v3.2.7 or later - CF Deployment: all versions through v55.?.0 (inclusive); fixed in v55.?.0 or later (bundles log-cache_release v3.2.7)

Nextcloud is an open source content collaboration platform. In Nextcloud Server from versions 32.0.0 to before 32.0.9, and 33.0.0 to before 33.0.3, a pre-2FA session cookie (created after successful password authentication but before TOTP completion) could be reused as a Bearer token to authenticate against DAV endpoints, granting read/write access and bypassing mandatory two-factor authentication. It is recommended that the Nextcloud Server is upgraded to 33.0.3 or 32.0.9. It is recommended that the Nextcloud Enterprise Server is upgraded to 33.0.3, 32.0.9, 31.0.14.5, 30.0.17.9 or 29.0.16.16

Nextcloud is an open source content collaboration platform. In Nextcloud Server from versions 32.0.0 to before 32.0.9, and 33.0.0 to before 33.0.3, an authentication bypass vulnerability allowed attackers with knowledge of a user's password to circumvent two-factor authentication (2FA) protections. When a user initiated login with valid credentials on a 2FA-enabled account, the system created a temporary session token before enforcing the second factor challenge. This token could be extracted and replayed via HTTP Basic Authentication to gain unauthorized access to authenticated endpoints. It is recommended that the Nextcloud Server is upgraded to 33.0.3 or 32.0.9. It is recommended that the Nextcloud Enterprise Server is upgraded to 33.0.3, 32.0.9, 31.0.14.5, 30.0.17.9 or 29.0.16.16

Nextcloud Server versions 32.0.0 to before 32.0.2 and 33.0.0 to before 33.0.1 contain an improper authentication vulnerability in the files_lock app. This flaw allows authenticated users to lock or unlock files owned by other users by exploiting absolute WebDAV paths.

Nextcloud is an open source content collaboration platform. From versions 0.3.0 to before 3.1.0, 5.0.0 to before 5.1.0, and 6.0.0 to before 6.4.0, a missing signature verification in User OIDC allowed a malicious ID4me authority to identify as any user. This issue has been patched in versions 3.1.0, 4.1.0, 5.1.0, 6.4.0 and 8.3.0.

Nextcloud Files app versions from 33.0.0 up to but not including 33.1.0 for Android allowed bypassing the app PIN by using the back-button after unlocking a locked phone. This improper authentication vulnerability has been fixed in version 33.1.0. The issue has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 4.6.

Web endpoints intended for the Acer Connect app improperly validate the HTTP Authorization header, failing to block requests when Base64 decoding fails.

The OTP Login With Phone Number, OTP Verification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions 1.8.50 through 1.8.60. This is due to the Firebase verification flow in the `lwp_ajax_register` AJAX handler not binding the Firebase session to the phone number supplied in the request. The `idehweb_lwp_activate_through_firebase()` function validates that a Firebase OTP session is legitimate, but the `phoneNumber` returned by Firebase is never compared against the victim's stored phone number. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as any user who has a phone number stored in user meta, including administrators, by verifying their own Firebase session and supplying the victim's phone number in the same request.

PyJWT is a JSON Web Token implementation in Python. Prior to 2.13.0, when the verifier is decoding JSON Web Tokens, while supporting both asymmetric and HMAC algorithms, the library does not validate use of JSON Web Keys in HMAC algorithm, allowing attacker to use the issuer public key as the secret key for HMAC algorithm. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.13.0.

The Mennekes Amtron series (firmware versions ≤ 5.22.3) is vulnerable to an authentication bypass. An unauthenticated remote attacker can change the password of the user account via a crafted POST request to the /operator/operator endpoint.

OpenLearnX is an open-source, decentralized learning and assessment platform. Prior to 2.0.4, a critical authentication vulnerability was identified in OpenLearnX that could allow unauthorized access to user accounts under specific conditions. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.4.
