By Sai Kiran Pandrala. Last verified: 2026-05-25.
CVE-2026-23678 is a OS command injection in Binardat Ltd. 10G08-0800GSM Network Switch. The fix is to apply the vendor patch noted below.
| Severity | 8.7 (High) |
|---|---|
| Actively exploited? | No public listing in CISA KEV |
| Affected | 10G08-0800GSM Network Switch 0 to <=V300SP10260209 |
| Fixed in | See vendor advisory |
| Type (CWE) | CWE-78 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') |
What is CVE-2026-23678?
Binardat 10G08-0800GSM network switch firmware version V300SP10260209 and prior contain a command injection vulnerability in the traceroute diagnostic function of the affected device web management interface. By injecting the %1a character into the hostname parameter, an authenticated attacker with access to the web interface can execute arbitrary CLI commands on the device. The CVSS base score is 8.7 (High), which puts this in the upper risk band and warrants a fast patch cycle. The official advisory is at https://www.binardat.com/products/8-port-10-gigabit-sfp-managed-switch,-support-1g-sfp-and-10g-sfp-module,-160gbps-bandwidth,-l3-web-managed,-metal-fanless-fiber-binardat-network-switch.
Am I affected?
Check the version of 10G08-0800GSM Network Switch you are running and compare it against the Affected row above (10G08-0800GSM Network Switch 0 to <=V300SP10260209). If your build sits inside the affected range, you must patch.

If you can't patch immediately
Apply at least one of the following inline controls until you can deploy the patched build. None replace the upgrade.
Restrict exposure with nftables (Linux)
# Allow only trusted CIDR to reach the affected service ports
sudo nft add table inet filter 2>/dev/null || true
sudo nft 'add chain inet filter input { type filter hook input priority 0 ; }' 2>/dev/null || true
sudo nft 'add rule inet filter input tcp dport {80, 443} ip saddr != 10.0.0.0/8 drop'
sudo nft list ruleset
Block at the host firewall (Windows)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block-CVE-2026-23678" -Direction Inbound -Action Block -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 80,443 -RemoteAddress Any -Enabled True
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block-CVE-2026-23678"
Disable the affected service (Linux)
sudo systemctl stop 10g08-0800gsm-network-switch 2>/dev/null || true
sudo systemctl disable 10g08-0800gsm-network-switch 2>/dev/null || true
If the vendor advisory lists an official workaround, prefer that wording verbatim. If no workaround is published, the only safe remediation is the patch.
How to verify the fix worked
After upgrading, confirm the installed version matches the patched build and that no old library is still loaded by a long-running process.
# Linux
dpkg -s 10g08-0800gsm-network-switch 2>/dev/null | grep -i ^Version
rpm -q 10g08-0800gsm-network-switch 2>/dev/null || true
# Pid map check for old library handles
sudo lsof +c0 2>/dev/null | grep -i "DEL.*lib" || true
# Windows
Get-Package -Name "*10G08-0800GSM Network Switch*" | Select-Object Name, Version
Get-HotFix | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending | Select-Object -First 5
Expected: the reported version is at or above See vendor advisory. Restart the affected service (systemctl restart <service> on Linux, or restart the Windows service) so it loads the patched binary.

Is CVE-2026-23678 actively exploited?
There is no public confirmation of exploitation in the wild listed in CISA KEV at the time of this writing. Patch anyway. Public exploits commonly follow disclosure within weeks.
Do I need to reboot after patching CVE-2026-23678?
For kernel and OS-level updates, yes. For most userland packages a systemctl restart <service> is enough on Linux, and restarting the Windows service or app on Windows. Any process that loaded the old library keeps using it until restarted.
