CVE-2026-107244Versa VOS weak authentication
CVE-2026-107244 is a weak authentication in Versa VOS, rated high (7.6 on CVSS 3.0).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
The sign-in check can be passed without proving who the caller is.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an administrator account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place Versa VOS runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- While there is no fix, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.
Description from NVD
The Node.js web service on VOS (previously Versa FlexVNF) is used for URL-based Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) of the VOS appliance and is not required after provisioning is complete. The /decryptTest endpoint of this service is registered in server.js before the session authentication middleware and creates an authenticated session whenever it receives a token that decrypts successfully. Because the key and initialization vector (IV) used for decryption are hardcoded and identical across all VOS appliances, an unauthenticated attacker with network access can compute a valid token, submit it to /decryptTest, and obtain a fully authenticated session without providing any credentials.
Versa’s security hardening guide for Hubs, Branches, and Controllers recommends disabling the Node.js web service after the initial provisioning of the VOS device. This vulnerability is not exploitable on VOS devices where the Node.js web service has been disabled.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Sign-in, session and token handling. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
- Identity providers and SSO. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Isolation between components. The impact crosses out of the vulnerable component into others it should be isolated from.
- Between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions. An attacker who crosses it can act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Versa VOS run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
