{"id":"CVE-2026-54640","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-54640","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T02:21:50.685Z","title":"OpenRemote is an open-source internet-of-things platform.","description":"OpenRemote is an open-source internet-of-things platform. Prior to 1.24.2, the KNXProtocol.startAssetImport method in agent/src/main/java/org/openremote/agent/protocol/knx/KNXProtocol.java processes 0.xml from an authenticated user's uploaded ETS project ZIP with Saxon TransformerFactoryImpl and XMLInputFactory parsers that permit external entity resolution. This incomplete remediation of CVE-2026-40882 leaves the KNX handler unprotected while the parallel Velbus handler is hardened, allowing a regular realm user to read files accessible to the JVM process or cause server-side requests. This issue is fixed in version 1.24.2.","published":"2026-10-13T17:17:41.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-16T20:04:30.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.6,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L"},"cwe":["CWE-611"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00219,"percentile":0.12339,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-14","score":0.00219,"percentile":0.11536}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.22%).
