CVE-2026-56451
CWE-347Published: July 14, 2026· Updated: Jul 15, 2026
Official Description
A vulnerability has been identified in Opcenter X (All versions < V2604). Affected applications do not properly validate the algorithm specified in the JSON Web Token (JWT) header.
This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to forge arbitrary JWT, bypass authentication mechanisms and impersonate any user including administrative accounts, potentially gaining full unauthorized access to the application.
Risk Analysis
This critical vulnerability in Opcenter X allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to forge arbitrary JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) due to improper validation of the algorithm in the JWT header. With a perfect CVSS score of 10.0, this flaw enables full unauthorized access, posing an extremely high risk, but there is no information on exploitation likelihood (EPSS) or confirmed exploitation (KEV).
No public exploit is known for this vulnerability, and it has not been confirmed as exploited by CISA. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and requires no privileges or user interaction.
Upgrade Opcenter X to version V2604 or later. Ensure that JWT validation properly checks the algorithm specified in the header and that robust authentication mechanisms are in place.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-56451 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 10.0.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
