CVE-2026-124012: Copeland XWEB EVO hardcoded credential authentication bypass

CVE-2026-124012 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-11-12

XWEB EVO is a web-based management interface for industrial refrigeration control systems. Versions 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 contain a hardcoded credential vulnerability in the Administrator account that uses a MAC-based daily password with no validation of actual stored secrets. An attacker who can derive the daily password algorithm can gain full administrative access to the device, potentially enabling unauthorized system control and configuration changes.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the Users.authenticate function within lualib_users.lua, which synthesizes the Administrator account configuration without validating any stored password secret. The Administrator account is configured to use password_mode daily_password, allowing attackers who can derive the MAC-based daily password generation to authenticate without a properly stored credential. Successful exploitation grants full administrative session access to the device.
