# XWEB EVO: unauthenticated attacker can reset passwords of accounts flagged for reset; no fix, product end of service

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-124015 (this .md is for agents)

XWEB EVO versions 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 lack session validation in the users.lua update_password action. An unauthenticated attacker can set the password of accounts flagged to reset at next login and get a usable foothold on the system.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:XWEB EVO affected >= 5.6.2, <= 5.8.8 fixed no fixed version listed

## How to check

1) Find XWEB EVO units (refrigeration/HVAC supervisors) and read the software version in the web UI; 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 is the range in the VulnCheck advisory. 2) Check exposure: from a connection off-site (phone on mobile data) open the site's public IP in a browser; the XWEB login page must not appear. Also look for port forwarding or DMZ rules to the unit. 3) Review the user list for unknown accounts, especially newly created operator accounts flagged to reset password at next login.

## Fix

No fix: Copeland says XWEB EVO is end of service and gets no further security patches. Migrate to XWEB PRO (current v1.16.1) and take XWEB off the public internet.

- 2026-11-12T20:43:51+00:00 analyst https://www.ctol.digital/news/refrigeration-controller-attacks-cert-fr-xweb-evo-end-of-service/ — VulnCheck advisory (CVE text) read; Copeland bulletin 3 Nov 2026 says XWEB EVO is EoS, no patches, remove from internet, VPN, migrate to PRO. Bulletin does not name this CVE, so nothing marked verified. No public PoC or CVE-specific exploitation found; CERT-FR reports compromises of XWEB/Danfoss units generally (not tied to this CVE). Scope of fix none is from the vendor bulletin. X search not run. No code check: version is read from device UI, not a repo.

## From the sources

XWEB EVO 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to set the password of any account flagged must-reset-at-next-login by exploiting missing session validation in the users.lua update_password action. Attackers can reset the password of newly onboarded operator accounts, clearing the password_expiration flag and gaining an immediately usable authenticated foothold on the system. This product line reached it's end of service date in March 2026.
