CVE-2026-111710 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Netcore NR256CN through 1.5.140116 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Boa web server's user_auth() function that allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the server via a malformed Authorization header. Attackers can send a Basic Authorization value lacking a colon, such as one decoding to a single character, to protected routes like /router/get_user_type.cgi to kill the main Boa process and deny management interface access.. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
