CVE-2026-8216: Industrial Application Software Canias ERP session hijacking in Java RMI

CVE-2026-8216 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-05-10

A security flaw exists in Canias ERP, a software suite used for managing industrial and manufacturing business processes. The system fails to properly verify the identity of users when they perform actions through its remote management interface. This allows an attacker to hijack active user sessions, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive business data or full control over the server.

Technical details

An improper authentication vulnerability exists in the iasServerRemoteInterface.doAction function within the Java RMI Session Management component of Canias ERP 8.03. The server uses session IDs as both identifiers and authenticators without verifying if the caller is the legitimate owner of the session. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by supplying a valid session ID (which can be predicted or enumerated via related vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-8214) to the iasClientRequest constructor. This allows the attacker to hijack active sessions, including those of administrative or system accounts, and is a critical step in a remote code execution (RCE) chain. The vendor has reportedly not responded to disclosure attempts.
