CVE-2026-127273: Linksys EA8100 missing authentication in JNAP API

CVE-2026-127273 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-13

The Linksys EA8100 router's JNAP API fails to authenticate access to network status functions, allowing an attacker on the local network to retrieve sensitive information about the router's WAN connection and admin password status. This exposes internal network configuration details that could facilitate further attacks or reconnaissance against the device.

Technologies: Linksys EA8100. Vendors: Linksys.

Technical details

The JNAP API endpoints GetWANStatus, GetWANStatus3, and IsAdminPasswordDefault in the Linksys EA8100 router lack proper authentication checks, allowing unauthenticated network access to retrieve sensitive router state information. The vulnerability is exploitable cross-origin via DNS rebinding attacks and may be triggered remotely by an attacker on the adjacent network. This enables network reconnaissance and exposes whether a default admin password is configured.
