CVE-2026-76142: Genian NAC/ZTNA unauthorized access to internal IPC endpoint

CVE-2026-76142 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-01

Genian NAC and ZTNA are network access control and zero-trust network access solutions that manage device compliance and network security policy. An unauthenticated attacker can call an internal IPC SOAP endpoint if the policy server's internal RPC service is exposed externally through misconfiguration (typically via Apache ProxyPass). This allows an attacker to invoke internal functions that could modify policies, compromise network access controls, or execute unauthorized administrative actions.

Vendors: Genian.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the internal IPC SOAP endpoint (127.0.0.1:3870/ipc) of Centerd within Genian NAC and ZTNA policy servers, which lacks authentication and access control validation. When gnrpcsvc (port 9999) is exposed externally via Apache ProxyPass or similar reverse proxy configurations, an unauthenticated network attacker can directly invoke internal functions intended only for local inter-process communication. The attack requires no privilege escalation or user interaction and can result in unauthorized policy modification, integrity compromise, and potential service disruption.
