Published: 27 February 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-22877 is a low-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Copeland Xweb 300D Pro Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 3.7 (Low).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 41.8th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-22877 is an arbitrary file-read vulnerability (CWE-22) affecting XWEB Pro version 1.12.1 and prior. Published on 2026-02-27, it has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 3.7 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), indicating low severity with network accessibility but high attack complexity required.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely to read arbitrary files on the affected system. While the primary impact is limited confidentiality (low), the vulnerability may also enable denial-of-service conditions.
CISA's ICS Advisory ICSA-26-057-10 provides details on the issue, available at https://www.cisagov/CSAF/blob/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2026/icsa-26-057-10.json and https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-057-10.
