CVE-2026-113620: Eclipse ioFog Controller WebSocket authentication bypass in exec and log routes

CVE-2026-113620 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-10-20

Eclipse ioFog Controller is a cloud platform that manages IoT edge devices and microservices. Versions 3.8.0 through 3.9.1 fail to verify JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) when operators establish WebSocket connections to execute commands or view logs on edge devices and services, allowing an attacker with knowledge of a device UUID to forge admin credentials and gain remote code execution or view sensitive logs.

Vendors: Eclipse.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an improper cryptographic signature verification (CWE-347) in the WebSocket upgrade handlers for /exec and /log routes. The controller decodes the bearer JWT without validating its signature and uses the unverified token's group/role claims for RBAC decisions, allowing an attacker to craft a self-signed token with admin groups. An attacker needs knowledge of a target microservice or fog UUID to open a session; REST HTTP routes are unaffected as they properly verify tokens before RBAC evaluation.
