CVE-2026-62252
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
Homer prior to version 11.0.283, on every fresh deployment using internal authentication, automatically creates an `admin` account with the password `sipcapture` (stored as a legacy SHA-256 hex hash). There is no first-login forced-change mechanism, allowing any attacker to gain full administrative access.
Risk Assessment
An attacker who reaches the login endpoint can immediately gain full administrative privileges, potentially leading to complete system compromise.
Recommendation
Upgrade Homer to version 11.0.283 or later, and immediately change the default admin password.

See all- CVE-2026-62251High
Homer, open source telecom observability software, before version 11.0.283 is vulnerable to SQL injection in the V4StatisticsQuery handler. The user-supplied rawquery field is passed directly to DuckDB without calling sqlvalidator.ValidateRawSQL, allowing any authenticated user to execute arbitrary SQL statements against all data accessible via the FlightSQL service.
- CVE-2026-62253Critical
Homer, open source telecom observability software, prior to version 11.0.283 has a vulnerability where JWT middleware functions (`JWTMiddleware` and `JWTMiddlewareV4`) immediately return `next(c)` when `jwtSecret` is empty. The JWT secret defaults to an empty string, leaving all protected API endpoints completely unauthenticated.
Original NVD description (English source)
Homer is open source telecom observability software. Prior to version 11.0.283, on every fresh Homer deployment using internal authentication, the bootstrap process automatically creates an `admin` account with the password `sipcapture` (stored as a legacy SHA-256 hex hash). There is no first-login forced-change mechanism. Any attacker who reaches the login endpoint immediately gains full administrative access. Version 11.0.283 patches the issue.
