What is CVE-2026-26340?

Tattile Smart+, Vega, and Basic device families firmware versions 1.181.5 and prior expose RTSP streams without requiring authentication. A remote attacker can connect to the RTSP service and access live video/audio streams without valid credentials, resulting in unauthorized disclosure of surveillance data. 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.zeroscience.mk/en/vulnerabilities/ZSL-2026-5978.php.

Am I affected?

Check the version of Smart+ you are running and compare it against the Affected row above (Smart+ 0 to <=1.181.5; Tolling+ 0 to <=1.181.5; Smart+ Speed 0 to <=1.181.5; Smart+ Traffic Light 0 to <=1.181.5; Axle Counter 0 to <=1.181.5; Vega53 0 to <=1.181.5). If your build sits inside the affected range, you must patch.

Run the version check that fits your platform:


# Linux package check
dpkg -s smart 2>/dev/null | grep -i ^Version
rpm -q smart 2>/dev/null
command -v smart >/dev/null && smart --version 2>/dev/null


# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-Package -Name "*Smart+*" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object Name, Version
winget list --name "Smart+" 2>$null

How to fix CVE-2026-26340

Upgrade Smart+ to a patched build: See vendor advisory. The vendor advisory is the source of truth for the exact fixed version.

Ubuntu / Debian


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade smart
dpkg -s smart | grep -i ^Version

RHEL / CentOS / Rocky / AlmaLinux


sudo dnf upgrade --refresh smart -y
# or for older releases:
sudo yum update smart -y
rpm -q smart

SUSE / openSUSE


sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper update smart
rpm -q smart

Node.js / npm


# Update the affected package in your project
npm install Smart+@latest
npm ls Smart+
npm audit fix

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-2026-26340" -Direction Inbound -Action Block -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 80,443 -RemoteAddress Any -Enabled True
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block-CVE-2026-26340"

Disable the affected service (Linux)


sudo systemctl stop smart 2>/dev/null || true
sudo systemctl disable smart 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 smart 2>/dev/null | grep -i ^Version
rpm -q smart 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 "*Smart+*" | 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-2026-26340 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-2026-26340?

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.
