CVE-2026-40882: OpenRemote has XXE in Velbus Asset Import

CVE-2026-40882 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.6 · Published 2026-04-22

OpenRemote is an open-source internet-of-things platform. Prior to version 1.22.0, the Velbus asset import path parses attacker-controlled XML without explicit XXE hardening. An authenticated user who can call the import endpoint may trigger XML external entity processing, which can lead to server-side file disclosure and SSRF. The target file must be less than 1023 characters. Version 1.22.0 fixes the issue.

Technologies: io.openremote:openremote-manager (Maven), OpenRemote. Vendors: Maven, OpenRemote.
