Proof-of-Concept exploit for CVE-2026-26235 - Unauthenticated Denial of Service via missing authentication in JUNG Smart Visu Server ≤ 1.1.1050.
CVE-2026-26235 is an unauthenticated denial of service vulnerability in JUNG Smart Visu Server versions ≤ 1.1.1050. The product fails to implement authentication for critical system management functions, allowing remote attackers to reboot or shut down the server with a single POST request.
The endpoints /cgi-bin/reboot.sh and /cgi-bin/shutdown.sh are exposed without any authentication checks. No session tokens, API keys, or credentials are required to trigger these system-level commands.
This allows:
| Status | Version |
|---|---|
| ❌ Vulnerable | JUNG Smart Visu Server ≤ 1.1.1050 |
| ✅ Patched | Not yet released |
Tested on: JUNG Smart Visu Server 1.1.1050, Embedded Linux
/cgi-bin/reboot.sh and /cgi-bin/shutdown.sh are publicly accessibleAttacker → POST /cgi-bin/reboot.sh → No Authentication Check → System Reboot → DoS
Attacker → POST /cgi-bin/shutdown.sh → No Authentication Check → System Shutdown → DoS
