Cynap Pure (Next Gen), Cynap Bridge: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command
CVE-2026-59106 is a critical-severity improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command vulnerability in Cynap Pure (Next Gen), Cynap Bridge from WolfVision, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 2.00c as the first without the flaw, so updating Cynap Pure (Next Gen), Cynap Bridge to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Cynap Pure (Next Gen), Cynap Bridge to 2.00c or a later version.
- Update Cynap Pro, Cynap Core Pro, Cynap Receiver, Cynap Pure, Cynap Pure Mini, Cynap Pure Pro to 1.78a or a later version.
- Update Cynap Videobar, Firmware Version to 1.72e or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
A security vulnerability has been identified in the WolfProt interface implementation. Insufficient neutralization of user-controlled input could allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to a vulnerable service to execute operating-system commands with the privileges of the affected application service.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command
The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command before it is sent to a downstream component.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
- For any data that will be used to generate a command to be executed, keep as much of that data out of external control as possible. For example, in web applications, this may require storing the data locally in the session's state instead of sending it out to the client in a hidden form field.
- 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.
