Low risk36th percentile - higher than 36% of all known CVEs
Summary
An improper protection of authentication tokens vulnerability exists in certain Ebyte gateway products. Authentication tokens used by the web management interface are insufficiently protected during client-side session handling, which may allow an attacker with access to exposed session information to obtain and reuse a valid token. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to impersonate an authenticated user and gain unauthorized access to device management functionality.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can hijack an administrator session and gain unauthorized access to device management, potentially leading to security breaches.
Recommendation
Implement secure token storage and regularly rotate session tokens.
Other vulnerabilities in Ebyte gateway
See all- CVE-2026-77977High
Ebyte gateway product's vendor configuration utility does not require authentication before allowing certain disruptive administrative actions when default credentials remain configured. An unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent network could reboot the device or restore factory settings, resulting in a loss of configuration and service availability.
- CVE-2026-73809High
A cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability exists in certain Ebyte gateway products. The web management interface does not adequately protect sensitive communications using transport-layer encryption. An attacker with access to network traffic could intercept authentication or session-related information transmitted between a user and the affected device. Successful exploitation could result in disclosure of sensitive information and unauthorized access to device management functionality.
