CVE-2026-28806 nerves-hub CVE debrief

Who should care

Users of nerves_hub_web from version 1.0.0 before 2.4.0 should be aware of this vulnerability and take immediate action to protect their systems. This vulnerability allows attackers to interfere with firmware updates, access device functionality exposed by the platform, or disrupt device connectivity. In environments where additional features such as remote console access are enabled, this could lead to full compromise of affected devices.

Technical summary

This allows authenticated users to target devices belonging to other organizations and perform actions outside of their privilege level. An attacker can select devices outside of their organization by manipulating device identifiers and perform management actions on them, such as moving them to products they control.
