CVE-2026-49819
Published:August 12, 2026
Updated:September 01, 2026
UpSnap is a wake on lan web app. Versions 4.4.1 through 5.3.5 are vulnerable to a missing-authentication / privilege-escalation chain in "pb.HandlerInitSuperuser" ("backend/pb/handlers.go:249"), reachable as "POST /api/upsnap/init-superuser". The vulnerable code lacks any authentication, setup token, IP allow-list, or rate limit and is gated only by a "totalSuperusers > 0" count check — a condition that is false on every fresh install — allowing an unauthenticated network-adjacent attacker to register the initial superuser account, receive a long-lived JWT, and pivot to root remote code execution at "backend/networking/wake.go:43" ("exec.CommandContext(ctx, "/bin/sh", "-c", wake_cmd)"). Version 5.4.0 fixes the issue.
