CVE-2026-20761 is a command injection vulnerability affecting EnOcean SmartServer IoT version 4.60.009 and earlier. The flaw is in the handling of crafted LON/IP-852 management messages, specifically in the LtSetTimeZone function within libLonStack.so. According to the provided content, attacker-controlled timezone data from a proprietary PKTTYPE_ECHCONFIG (0xF3) message is incorporated into a shell command equivalent to timedatectl set-timezone '<timezone>' and passed to system() without proper neutralization. Claroty reported the issue is reachable pre-authentication over UDP IP-852 services, and that an attacker can first obtain configuration server details via PKTTYPE_REQDEVCONFIG (0x63) / PKTTYPE_DEVCONFIG (0x71), then craft an extended CNIP header so the device treats the malicious packet as trusted. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary OS command execution on the Linux-based controller, reportedly with root privileges.
