CVE-2026-52749 is an improper-authentication vulnerability in Kaon AR2140X router firmware through version 4.2.17. The router issues session cookies in HTTP responses to unauthenticated requests, allowing a remote attacker to obtain a valid session identifier without credentials and bypass authentication. The authenticated session can then be used to access upgrade-related functionality and cause the router to issue HTTP GET requests to attacker-selected domains. The security status of firmware versions newer than 4.2.17 is unknown.
