CVE-2026-102537
bacnet-stack BACnet/SC node always accepts a self-signed hub cert, so an attacker can MITM it
- High 7.7
Description
BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. Prior to versions 1.4.6, 1.5.2, and 1.6.1, bws_cli_connect() in ports/linux/websocket-cli.c loads the trusted CA cert into the libwebsockets context, then always sets LCCSCF_ALLOW_SELFSIGNED in the connection flags. So lws accepts any self-signed hub certificate, whether or not it chains to the loaded CA. A BACnet/SC node finishes the TLS handshake to a rogue hub that presents a self-signed cert. It then hands the attacker its identity (VMAC, UUID) and all later BACnet traffic. This issue has been patched in versions 1.4.6, 1.5.2, 1.6.1, and 1.7.0.
