CVE-2026-62252Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Unauthenticated admin access via hardcoded bootstrap password

Published Oct 7, 2026 · Updated Oct 7, 2026

Hardcoded credentials in the coordinator of QXIP BV HOMER before 11.0.283 allow remote attackers to gain admin access through the login endpoint. At startup, EnsureBootstrapAdminUser inserts an admin account with the same SHA-256 hash of sipcapture on fresh internal-authentication deployments, and legacy hash verification accepts that password. Exposure requires a reachable login endpoint and an unchanged bootstrap credential; successful login yields an administrative session.
