CVE-2026-124006 Dixell/Copeland XWEB EVO Predictable Root Password Generation

9.2 criticalEPSS 0.6%

Critical (9.2) in copeland xweb evo. EPSS 0.6% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.

On this page
XWEB EVO through 5.8.8 contains a predictable credential generation vulnerability that allows attackers to derive the Linux root password by computing a fixed prefix combined with a daily password value. Attackers can calculate the deterministic root credential, which before 5.7.0 was identical across all units and from 5.7.0 onward remains derivable from the MAC-based daily password, to gain unauthorized root access to the underlying operating system. This product line reached it's end of service date in March 2026.
