In open62541 v1.5.5, the server-side AddReferences implementation contains an incomplete validation flaw for non-local ExpandedNodeId targets. A remote attacker can send a crafted AddReferencesRequest with an empty targetServerUri and a non-zero targetNodeId.serverIndex, causing the target node pointer to remain NULL while execution continues.
CVE-2026-67870
Score 9.8 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: CRITICAL) published 2026-08-06. CISA-ADP (Vulnrichment) CVSS v3.1 baseline 9.8; sources differ by 0.0.
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
