Unauthenticated RCE in HP Poly Voice ICE SDP Parsing

IdentifiersCVE-2026-0826CWE-121· Stack-based Buffer Overflow

CVE-2026-0826 is a critical unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow affecting HP Poly Voice/VoIP devices on the Linux platform, including Poly VVX and Trio product lines. The flaw is exposed when Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) is enabled. According to the provided reporting, the vulnerable code is in SDP parsing of ICE candidate attributes within the polyapp binary, specifically in the helper function ParseICECandidate, which copies attacker-controlled candidate data into a 256-byte stack buffer using memcpy without enforcing a length check. A remote attacker can send a crafted SIP INVITE containing an oversized SDP candidate attribute to trigger the overflow, overwrite control data including the program counter, and achieve code execution. Rapid7 reported exploitation against firmware 6.4.7.4477 and noted that although NX is enabled, practical exploitation is facilitated because PIE is disabled and shared libraries such as libc load at fixed addresses, enabling ROP-based bypass of NX.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation provides unauthenticated remote code execution on the target phone with root privileges. This gives an attacker full administrative control of the device, enabling compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the phone and potentially allowing the device to be used as a trusted-network foothold. Reported downstream risks include interception or exposure of internal corporate audio traffic, espionage via microphones in offices and conference rooms, lateral movement within enterprise environments, persistence on a lightly monitored embedded device, and voice/call manipulation or fraud.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Disable ICE connectivity where it is not required. The vulnerability is described as reachable only in scenarios where an administrator has enabled Interactive Connectivity Establishment, and the content indicates ICE is not enabled by default. Limiting SIP exposure to trusted sources and accelerating firmware deployment would also reduce exposure, but the vendor-specific mitigation explicitly provided is to disable ICE if unnecessary.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply HP Poly's patched UCS firmware releases for affected devices. The provided content identifies patched versions as VVX UCS 6.4.8, Trio 8300 UCS 8.1.7, Trio 8500 UCS 7.2.8, and Trio 8800 UCS 7.2.8. HP recommends updating affected devices through HP Poly Lens Device Management and keeping firmware/software current across the fleet.
