CVE-2026-28806: Improper authorization in device bulk actions and device update API allows cross-organization device control
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 37/100)
- 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: 0.48% (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 1f69c9d595684a4650c3ac702f3dc7c5bcd7526c, 2.4.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to nerves-hub nerves_hub_web 1f69c9d595684a4650c3ac702f3dc7c5bcd7526c, 2.4.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Improper Authorization vulnerability in nerves-hub nerves_hub_web allows cross-organization device control via device bulk actions and device update API. Missing authorization checks in the device bulk actions and device update API endpoints allow authenticated users to target devices belonging to other organizations and perform actions outside of their privilege level. An attacker can select devices outside of their organization by manipulating device identifiers and perform management actions on them, such as moving them to products they control. This may allow attackers to interfere with firmware updates, access device functionality exposed by the platform, or disrupt device connectivity. In environments where additional features such as remote console access are enabled, this could lead to full compromise of affected devices. This issue affects nerves_hub: from 1.0.0 before 2.4.0.
