Q: Is there a fix for CVE-2026-62252?

Yes. github.com/sipcapture/homer-app (Go): upgrade to 0.0.0-20260625091610-b2e942031ff8 or later. Until then: Immediately change the admin password after any fresh Homer deployment before exposing the instance to a network. Restrict network access to the login endpoint via firewall rules or an authentication proxy until the password has been changed. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.

CVE-2026-62252 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-10-07

Homer is a VoIP call analysis and troubleshooting platform. Fresh deployments using internal authentication automatically create an admin account with a hardcoded default password 'sipcapture' that is publicly documented. An attacker who reaches the login endpoint gains immediate full administrative access to inspect, modify, and delete all call records and system configuration without any forced password change requirement.

Technologies: github.com/sipcapture/homer-app (Go). Vendors: Go.

How to fix

github.com/sipcapture/homer-app (Go): upgrade to 0.0.0-20260625091610-b2e942031ff8 or later
```
go get github.com/sipcapture/homer-app@v0.0.0-20260625091610-b2e942031ff8
```

Immediately change the admin password after any fresh Homer deployment before exposing the instance to a network. Restrict network access to the login endpoint via firewall rules or an authentication proxy until the password has been changed.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a hard-coded credential (CWE-798) in the bootstrap authentication handler. On every fresh deployment, the admin user is created with a SHA-256 hash of the constant password 'sipcapture' which is accepted via legacy hash verification. There is no first-login forced-change mechanism, rate limiting, or account lockout. An attacker with network access to the login endpoint can immediately authenticate as admin using the public default password.
