CVE-2026-39880

Remnawave Backend has a race condition in HWID device limit allows bypassing max devices

Published Apr 8, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Remnawave Backend is the backend for the Remnawave proxy and user management solution. Prior to 2.7.5, a glitch in the HWID device registration logic allows an authenticated user to bypass the configured limit for HWID devices and register more devices than expected, allowing them to resell subscriptions and consume excessive traffic. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.7.5.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The affected backend contains a race condition within the HWID device registration logic. An authenticated user can take advantage of this flaw to bypass the system‑configured maximum number of HWID devices, allowing registration of additional devices beyond the allowed quota. This exploitation enables the user to resell subscriptions and consume traffic in excess of what the subscription permits, leading to potential financial loss and service degradation for other customers.

Affected Systems

Remnawave Backend, all releases prior to version 2.7.5. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.7.5. Any deployment using older releases with a configured HWID device limit is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3.1 score of 5.0 indicates medium severity. Because the flaw requires the attacker to be an authenticated user and there is no publicly disclosed exploit code, the immediate risk is moderated, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a race condition during concurrent device registration, which may be difficult to reliably trigger without repeated attempts. Nevertheless, the ability to bypass device limits can result in resource abuse and increased operational costs.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Remnawave Backend to version 2.7.5 or newer.
  • Confirm that the HWID device limit is enforced after the upgrade.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, temporarily reduce the maximum device allowance or monitor device registration activity for anomalies.
