CVE-2026-89293: Eclipse Mnestix Browser missing authorization in admin server actions

CVE-2026-89293 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-03

Eclipse Mnestix Browser is a web interface for managing industrial asset data. An unauthenticated attacker can bypass the settings page's access controls and directly call administrative functions to modify infrastructure configuration, change security headers, and create connections to backends—even when authentication is enabled. This allows unauthorized alteration of the application's stored configuration and credentials.

Vendors: Eclipse.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 2.3.0

Disable the `AUTHENTICATION_FEATURE_FLAG` if it is not required, or restrict network access to the Mnestix Browser admin server to trusted networks only until patching is possible.

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from client-side-only authorization: the React-based settings UI enforces access control in the browser (CWE-602), but the underlying server actions and REST endpoints perform no server-side authentication or role checks (CWE-862). An attacker with network access can invoke server actions like `createInfrastructureAction`, `updateInfrastructureAction`, `deleteInfrastructureAction`, and `POST /api/mnestixConnections` directly by knowing their action IDs (which are embedded in public JavaScript bundles), regardless of `AUTHENTICATION_FEATURE_FLAG` setting. This results in write and delete access to the Prisma database storing infrastructure records and credentials.
