Overview

CVE-2026-81573 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 27, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.6 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.6, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

If CodeMeter Runtime before 8.41a or 9.10 is configured as a server, the configuration command handler does not enforce network-

origin restrictions. Commands intended only for local or same-network clients can therefore be executed by

arbitrary remote peers. An attacker can read potentially sensitive configuration data and overwrite selected values

in Server.ini. This does include the hash of the credentials for the CodeMeter WebAdmin, enabling WebAdmin

takeover.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
