VENDOR: Binardat
PRODUCT: 10G08-0800GSM Network Switch
AFFECTED_VERSIONS: Firmware versions prior to V300SP10260209
---END_METADATA---
Description Summary:
Binardat network switches generate predictable numeric session identifiers in their web management interface. This flaw allows attackers to guess active session IDs and hijack authenticated administrative sessions.
Executive Summary:
Binardat network switches are vulnerable to unauthenticated session hijacking due to the generation of predictable session identifiers in the web management console.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-27515
Affected Software: Binardat 10G08-0800GSM Network Switch
Affected Versions: Firmware versions prior to V300SP10260209
Vulnerability: The web management interface uses a weak algorithm to generate session IDs, resulting in predictable numeric values. An unauthenticated attacker can perform a brute-force or prediction attack to identify a valid, active session ID belonging to a logged-in administrator, thereby gaining full access without credentials.
Business Impact
With a CVSS score of 9.1, this vulnerability allows for the complete takeover of network hardware management. An attacker who hijacks an admin session can change routing tables, disable security features, or create backdoors for persistent access. This poses a severe risk to the confidentiality and availability of all data passing through the switch.
Remediation Plan
Immediate Action: Update the firmware of the Binardat 10G08-0800GSM switch to version V300SP10260209 or later to implement secure session management.
Proactive Monitoring: Audit the web management logs for multiple rapid login attempts or session access from multiple IP addresses simultaneously.
Compensating Controls: Disable the web-based management interface if it is not required, or restrict access to a trusted management workstation via IP-based firewall rules.
Exploitation Status
Public Exploit Available: No
Analyst Notes: As of Feb 24, 2026, there is no public information indicating active exploitation. However, session hijacking via predictable IDs is a well-understood attack vector that can be automated easily once the ID generation pattern is identified.
Analyst Recommendation
Session management is a cornerstone of web security. The predictable nature of these IDs makes the switch a high-value target. Administrators should apply the firmware update immediately and enforce short session timeouts to reduce the window of opportunity for an attacker to hijack an active session.
