CVE-2026-89176
HighCVSS 8.8Summary
WeenyGenius, a computer lab management system developed by Howyar Technologies, has a Missing Authentication vulnerability. Unauthenticated attackers on the same network can easily spoof student or teacher endpoints. Impersonating a student can disrupt normal classroom operations, whereas impersonating a teacher can induce student computers to initiate connections, thereby gaining remote control over the student endpoints.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could gain remote control over student computers, potentially disrupting classes or stealing data.
Recommendation
Update WeenyGenius software to a patched version and implement authentication mechanisms for network communications.
Other vulnerabilities in WeenyGenius
See all- CVE-2026-89179Medium
WeenyGenius, a computer lab management system by Howyar Technologies, has a Missing Support for Integrity Check vulnerability. Unauthenticated attackers on the same network can intercept a student's connection packet and replay it, thereby forging the appearance that the student remains connected.
- CVE-2026-89178High
WeenyGenius, a computer lab management system by Howyar Technologies, has an Origin Validation Error vulnerability. Unauthenticated attackers on the same network can spoof the teacher workstation and send broadcast packets, causing student computers to attempt to establish a connection with the attacker.
- CVE-2026-89177High
WeenyGenius, a computer lab management system by Howyar Technologies, has a Use of Insecure Protocol vulnerability. Due to the reliance on ZMTP Null mode, unauthenticated attackers on the same network can capture packets to leak transmitted data, or perform replay attacks with forged commands to disrupt classroom operations.
