CVE-2026-77061 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-26

boneIO Black is a DIN-rail home automation controller that manages electrical circuits and devices via a web-based control panel. Several API endpoints were accessible without authentication, allowing an attacker on the local network to retrieve sensitive system information including logs, firmware versions, and configuration details. This information disclosure aids in reconnaissance for follow-up attacks against the device.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 1.6.0

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an authentication bypass affecting multiple API endpoints that should require authenticated access. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the device can call these endpoints to retrieve system logs, firmware version, serial number, MQTT credentials, configuration file listings, and API documentation. The fix in version 1.6.0 enforces authentication checks on all API routes, disables interactive API documentation, and restricts serial number disclosure to authenticated users.

## Affected products
