CVE-2026-54155 is an authentication flaw in node-opcua affecting UserNameIdentityToken processing. The implementation fails to verify that the trailing bytes of the decrypted password blob match the expected session nonce before extracting and accepting the password value. As a result, an attacker can craft a token whose decrypted password field is interpreted as an empty string and can also replay previously captured authentication tokens across sessions because the session-binding nonce is not enforced. The issue breaks the intended freshness and integrity guarantees of the OPC UA username/password authentication flow and can permit unauthorized authentication under affected configurations.
