Last modified

CVE-2026-10099 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4/10 on the CVSS scale. XX-Net V5.16.6 contains a WebSocket frame parsing vulnerability in the WebSocket_receive_worker routine of simple_http_server.py that allows attackers to cause corrupted application data by sending unmasked WebSocket frames. The server unconditionally reads 4 bytes as a masking key regardless of whether the MASK bit is set in the frame header, causing the first 4 bytes of payload to be consumed as a mask key and the remaining payload to be incorrectly XOR-decoded, resulting in data corruption alongside missing RSV bit, opcode, and FIN fragmentation validations.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
