CVE-2026-9142

Status: AnalyzedCritical (9.3)—

There is an insecure default credentials vulnerability in NI grpc-device when TLS configuration is not present and the server is bound beyond loopback.  This may allow an unauthenticated user access to the server on the local network.  This affects NI grpc-device 2.17.0 and prior versions.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

Vector CVSS de red sin autenticación (PR:N, UI:N) indica explotación remota (T1190). Credenciales por defecto inseguras en servicio expuesto permite acceso no autenticado (T1078). CWE-306 confirma autenticación débil.

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
