CVE-2026-80155: Lantronix Autonomous Out-of-Band Devices Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass via snprintf Path Truncation
Lantronix SLC8000 before firmware v9.7.0.5, EMG8500/EMG7500 before firmware v9.7.0.1, and all firmware versions of SLB882/SLCx-03/SLCx-02 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the web management portal upload endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive configuration files and upload files to arbitrary filesystem locations, leading to remote code execution. The web configuration server constructs the session cookie file path using snprintf with a fixed-size buffer; by supplying a cookie value of a specific length an attacker causes the path to truncate at the required delimiter and leverages path traversal to redirect authentication validation to an arbitrary on-disk file such as the local user database, bypassing all session checks. Attackers can use this vulnerability to achieve complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected device and potentially impact downstream serial-connected devices.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which devices and firmware releases are affected?
Affected devices are SLC8000 running firmware before v9.7.0.5 and EMG8500 or EMG7500 running firmware before v9.7.0.1. All firmware versions of SLB882, SLCx-03, and SLCx-02 are affected.
Does exploitation require credentials or user interaction?
No. An unauthenticated remote attacker can target the web management portal upload endpoint, and no user interaction is required.
What access can an attacker gain after exploiting the issue?
An attacker can read sensitive configuration files and upload files to arbitrary filesystem locations, which can lead to remote code execution. This can result in complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the device and may affect downstream serial-connected devices.
What should be prioritized for remediation?
Upgrade SLC8000 devices to firmware v9.7.0.5 or later, and EMG8500 and EMG7500 devices to firmware v9.7.0.1 or later. SLB882, SLCx-03, and SLCx-02 devices are affected across all firmware versions, so they require compensating measures where applicable.
