CVE-2026-120997: Improper session invalidation keeps removed or demoted members' open pages and device consoles working at their old role

LowCVSS 2.3 · v4.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 9/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.26% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: nerves-hub nerves_hub_web 2.5.3, a96497ddd4d24ab1847f7685e255bf96fd87b85b.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to nerves-hub nerves_hub_web 2.5.3, a96497ddd4d24ab1847f7685e255bf96fd87b85b or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Improper Session Invalidation vulnerability in the dashboard pages, device console and local shell channels in nerves-hub nerves_hub_web allows an organization member who is removed or given a lower role to keep acting at their old role through anything they had open at the time. The dashboard reads the member's role once when a page mounts, in the assign_org_to_scope hook of NervesHubWeb.Auth, and the console, local shell and device event stream channels check membership once at join. Removing a member or changing their role tells none of them, so open pages keep carrying out actions and open consoles keep running commands on the device until the page reloads or the socket disconnects. The dashboard also opens consoles over NervesHubWeb.UserSocket with a token that holds only the user's id, is accepted for 24 hours, and is not revoked by signing out, which disconnects only the session's LiveViews. Whoever holds a token taken from a page can open consoles as that user, within the user's current membership, until it expires. This issue affects nerves_hub: from 1.0.0 before 2.5.3.
