Eclipse Kura: Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision
CVE-2026-113422 is a high-severity reliance on untrusted inputs in a security decision vulnerability in Eclipse Kura from Eclipse Foundation, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.7 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. Affected Eclipse Kura versions: 5.0.0 through 5.6.2. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

Official description
In Eclipse Kura versions 5.0.0 through 5.6.2, the Wire Graph update functionality of the Kura Web UI, and the Wire Service REST API v1 (available since 5.1.0, org.eclipse.kura.rest.wire.provider), determine whether a configuration update targets a Wire Component, Driver or Asset from the factory identifier supplied in the request, instead of the actual factory of the existing component. An authenticated identity holding only the Wires management permission (kura.wires.admin for the Web UI, rest.wires.admin for the REST API) can therefore modify the configuration of existing components that are not part of the Wire Graph, including security-relevant ones, or replace existing components. This allows escalation to full administrative privileges and can disrupt the device. Modifying arbitrary components requires at least one Driver to be installed on the device. The issue is fixed in Eclipse Kura 5.6.3.

The underlying weakness: Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision
The product uses a protection mechanism that relies on the existence or values of an input, but the input can be modified by an untrusted actor in a way that bypasses the protection mechanism.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. With a stateless protocol such as HTTP, use a framework that maintains the state for you. Examples include ASP.NET View State and the OWASP ESAPI Session Management feature. Be careful of language features that provide state support, since these might be provided as a convenience to the programmer and may not be considering security.
- For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
- When using PHP, configure the application so that it does not use register_globals. During implementation, develop the application so that it does not rely on this feature, but be wary of implementing a register_globals emulation that is subject to weaknesses such as CWE-95, CWE-621, and similar issues.
