CVE-2026-26369

JUNG eNet SMART HOME server 2.2.1/2.3.1 Privilege Escalation via setUserGroup

Published Feb 15, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
eNet SMART HOME server 2.2.1 and 2.3.1 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability due to insufficient authorization checks in the setUserGroup JSON-RPC method. A low-privileged user (UG_USER) can send a crafted POST request to /jsonrpc/management specifying their own username to elevate their account to the UG_ADMIN group, bypassing intended access controls and gaining administrative capabilities such as modifying device configurations, network settings, and other smart home system functions.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The eNet SMART HOME server 2.2.1 and 2.3.1 allows a low‑privileged user to send a crafted POST request to /jsonrpc/management, specifying their own username. This bypasses authorization checks in the setUserGroup method and escalates the account to UG_ADMIN, giving full administrative rights to modify device configurations, network settings, and other smart‑home functions. The weakness reflects improper authorization (CWE‑269).

Affected Systems

JUNG eNet SMART HOME server versions 2.2.1 and 2.3.1

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.7, indicating critical severity. EPSS is reported as less than 1%, suggesting low to negligible exploitation probability, and it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack vector is a crafted POST request to the /jsonrpc/management endpoint, which a legitimate user can send with their own username to elevate privileges. Because the exploit requires only knowledge of the victim’s own username, it can be performed without additional reconnaissance, making this flaw particularly attractive for malicious actors who have already gained authenticated access to the system. Mitigating the risk requires the vendor to issue a patch or otherwise enforce proper authorization checks.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch or upgrade to a patched version as soon as it becomes available
  • Restrict network access to the /jsonrpc/management endpoint with firewall rules or subnet segmentation so that only trusted management devices can reach it
  • Enforce least privilege for user accounts by removing unnecessary group assignments and regularly review group membership to detect unauthorized changes
