No open trigger. (last checked 2026-11-13) - Fix: a fix or patch is referenced - Published: 2026-11-12 ยท Updated: 2026-11-13 CVE-2026-124015 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 8.2 (high) and affects XWEB EVO; a fix or patch is referenced. ## Summary Copeland XWEB EVO is affected by an authentication bypass that lets a remote attacker, without logging in, set the password of an account flagged to reset at next login, such as a newly onboarded operator account. This clears the expiration flag and gives the attacker an immediately usable logged-in foothold on the system. Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources. ## Who should check Teams running Copeland XWEB EVO controllers, versions 5.6.2 through 5.8.8, especially those onboarding new operator accounts; this product line reached end of service in March 2026. Source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dixell-copeland-xweb-evo-authentication-bypass-via-users-lua ("XWEB EVO 5.6.2 through 5.8.8") ## Affected - Copeland XWEB EVO: from 5.6.2, through 5.8.8 ## Description XWEB EVO 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to set the password of any account flagged must-reset-at-next-login by exploiting missing session validation in the users.lua update_password action.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only. What cve.now has for CVE-2026-124015 (entry last updated 2026-11-13): Affected: - Copeland XWEB EVO: from 5.6.2, through 5.8.8 Fixed versions: none listed yet. Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit): - Copeland XWEB EVO versions 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dixell-copeland-xweb-evo-authentication-bypass-via-users-lua) - The target account must be flagged must-reset-at-next-login (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dixell-copeland-xweb-evo-authentication-bypass-via-users-lua) Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory. Attacker needs: network access, no login, no user action. CISA KEV: CVE-2026-124015 is not listed as of cve.now's last read. This KEV status is for CVE-2026-124015 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one. How to check: - Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory. Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one: - https://webapps.copeland.com/dixell/Content/Pages/AdvertisingMaterials/ProductNews/XWEB%20EVO%20EoS%20-%20Product_Bulletin_March_2026.pdf - https://webapps.copeland.com/Dixell/Pages/SystemSoftwareUpdate - https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dixell-copeland-xweb-evo-authentication-bypass-via-users-lua Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing. Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked. Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-124015 ### What does this mean? An unauthenticated attacker can set the password of an account flagged must-reset-at-next-login, clear that account's password_expiration flag, and get an immediately usable authenticated session on the system. Source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dixell-copeland-xweb-evo-authentication-bypass-via-users-lua ### Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-124015? XWEB EVO: from 5.6.2 through 5.8.8. Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-124015 ### Am I affected, and how do I check? Copeland XWEB EVO versions 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 contain the bypass. The bug only applies where the target account is flagged must-reset-at-next-login, so a reader can check the installed XWEB EVO version against that range and review which accounts carry that flag. Source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dixell-copeland-xweb-evo-authentication-bypass-via-users-lua ### How do I fix CVE-2026-124015? The checked facts do not name a fixed version or vendor patch, so no upgrade target can be given from them. Check the vendor's advisory for a fix before relying on any version.
