CVE-2026-62252 sipcapture CVE debrief

Who should care

Homer administrators and users, particularly those with internal authentication enabled, should verify their deployment version, change the default password if still in use, and implement additional security measures to prevent unauthorized access. Immediate verification and remediation are recommended for Homer deployments.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-62252 allows immediate administrative access to Homer deployments prior to version 11.0.283 due to a hardcoded default admin password 'sipcapture' with no forced change on first login. Homer administrators and users should verify their deployment version, change the default password if still in use, and implement additional security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

• Immediate unauthorized administrative access possible for attackers reaching the login endpoint
• Potential for lateral movement and further exploitation within the network
• Need for immediate verification of Homer deployment version and password security

Technical summary

Homer deployments prior to version 11.0.283 have a hardcoded default admin password 'sipcapture' with no forced change on first login, allowing immediate administrative access to attackers who reach the login endpoint. The password is stored as a legacy SHA-256 hex hash. There is no first-login forced-change mechanism, making it critical for administrators to verify their deployment version and change the default password if still in use. Additional security measures should be implemented to prevent unauthorized access.

Defensive priority

Immediate verification and remediation recommended for Homer deployments

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify Homer deployment version and upgrade to 11.0.283 or later if necessary
• Change default admin password 'sipcapture' if still in use
• Implement additional security measures to prevent unauthorized access
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
