VulnCheck began detecting probes targeting CVE-2026-61500 on October 1, 2026, after Rejetto had patched the flaw in July.<\/p>\n<p>CVE-2026-61500 is a critical authentication weakness affecting Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0. It carries a CVSS v4.0 score of 9.3. The vulnerability exposes outputs from the non-cryptographic PRNG used to create the HFS session-cookie signing key. An unauthenticated attacker can reconstruct that key and forge an administrator session. The forged session can then provide access to functionality capable of server-side code execution.<\/p>\n<p>Rejetto released HFS 3.2.1 on July 13, 2026, addressing the security issues. Organizations running affected HFS 3.x versions should prioritize remediation.<\/p>\n<h2>CVE-2026-61500 at a Glance<\/h2>\n<table style=\"font-weight: 400; width: 100%;\"

and version details are documented by VulnCheck and the Rejetto HFS release record.<\/p>\n<h2>How Predictable Randomness Lets Attackers Forge HFS Admin Sessions<\/h2>\n<p>CVE-2026-61500 stems from how HFS generated and protected session cookies.<\/p>\n<p>HFS generated a value using JavaScript&#8217;s <code>Math.random()<\/code> and passed that value to Koa, the Node.js web framework used by HFS. Koa then used the value to sign session cookies.<\/p>\n<p>The weakness became exploitable because HFS also exposed outputs from the same PRNG during login. Mythos identified the mathematical connection between the <code>Math.random()<\/code> values used for session signing and the raw PRNG output leaked through the login process, showing that the two weaknesses could be chained for state recovery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/horizon3.ai\/attack-research\/disclosures\/anthropic-mythos-rejetto-hfs-rce\/?utm_source=hexnode_blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=cve_2026_61500\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Horizon3&#8217;s technical analysis<\/a> describes the chain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HFS derives the cookie-signing value from <code>Math.random()<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>V8 implements the relevant PRNG using the reversible <code>xorshift128+<\/code> algorithm.<\/li>\n<li>The HFS login process exposes additional <code>Math.random()<\/code> outputs to clients.<\/li>\n<li>The documented exploit samples the unauthenticated login endpoint approximately 12 times to collect leaked PRNG values, then uses those observations to reconstruct the V8 <code>xorshift128+<\/code> internal state.<\/li>\n<li>The attacker steps backward through that state to recover the session-signing key.<\/li>\n<li>The recovered key can sign a fabricated administrator session cookie.<\/li>\n<li>The forged administrator session provides access to HFS functionality capable of executing server-side code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The documented Horizon3 exploit sampled the unauthenticated endpoint multiple times before reconstructing the state and forging the administrator cookie.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the relevant login operation requires a valid login-enabled username but does not require that user&#8217;s password to disclose the PRNG output. Horizon3 also documented a user-enumeration technique for validating that the built-in administrator account existed.<\/p>\n<p>This makes CVE-2026-61500 more than a conventional login bypass. It converts information exposed during authentication into the cryptographic material needed to create a trusted administrator session.<\/p>\n<h2>What Active Probing of CVE-2026-61500 Actually Confirms<\/h2>\n<p>The distinction between exploit capability and observed attacker activity matters.<\/p>\n<p>Horizon3 demonstrated the full path from unauthenticated access to forged administrator authentication and arbitrary command execution during vulnerability research.<\/p>\n<p>VulnCheck reported that its Canary Intelligence systems began observing activity targeting CVE-2026-61500 on October 1, 2026. It subsequently added the vulnerability to the VulnCheck Known Exploited Vulnerabilities database. At the time, its internet telemetry identified roughly 100 internet-facing HFS instances.<\/p>\n<p>SecurityWeek reported that activity reached canaries in Japan and the United States and originated from a China Telecom IP address.<\/p>\n<p>However, the available public reporting does not establish:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>which organizations, if any, were successfully compromised;<\/li>\n<li>whether attackers deployed malware;<\/li>\n<li>whether attackers established persistence;<\/li>\n<li>whether information was stolen;<\/li>\n<li>whether lateral movement followed exploitation; or<\/li>\n<li>whether the exact Horizon3 proof-of-concept sequence was used in the observed attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Organizations should treat active targeting of CVE-2026-61500 as confirmed, while avoiding claims of successful compromise or post-exploitation activity that public reporting has not established.<\/p>\n<h2>Upgrade HFS 3.0.0\u20133.2.0 and Verify Remediation<\/h2>\n<p>Rejetto released HFS 3.2.1 on July 13, 2026. Its release notes state that multiple security vulnerabilities affected previous versions and could allow administrative access to HFS.<\/p>\n<p>For CVE-2026-61500 specifically, VulnCheck identifies HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 as affected. Organizations running these versions should upgrade to HFS 3.2.1 or a later fixed release.<\/p>\n<p>IT and security teams should follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Inventory HFS 3.x deployments.<\/strong> Identify HFS installations across the environment and record the installed version. Do not rely only on server ownership records or existing asset lists.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upgrade affected versions.<\/strong> Prioritize HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 and move affected installations to HFS 3.2.1 or a later fixed release.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verify remediation.<\/strong> Confirm the installed HFS version after deployment rather than treating an initiated update as proof that remediation succeeded.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restart HFS where required by the deployment process.<\/strong> If the upgrade does not already restart the HFS process, restart it after applying the fixed release so the patched process initializes its session-signing state. Do not present manual session invalidation as a documented Rejetto remediation requirement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigate suspicious activity where exposure existed.<\/strong> Active probing of CVE-2026-61500 has been observed. However, public sources do not currently document successful victim compromise, a standard post-exploitation payload, or a persistence mechanism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The HFS application update is the primary remediation for CVE-2026-61500. Generic operating-system patching should not be treated as a substitute for updating the vulnerable HFS installation.<\/p>\n<section id='resource-single'>\n                    <div class='resource-box'>\n                        <div class='resource-box__image-section'>\n                            <div class='resource-box__image-wrap'>\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.hexnode.com\/threat-watch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hexnode-UEM-for-Patch-Management-300x225-1.webp?format=webp\" class=\"resource-box__image\" alt=\"Hexnode-UEM-for-Patch-Management-300x225\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.hexnode.com\/threat-watch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hexnode-UEM-for-Patch-Management-300x225-1-300x210.webp?format=webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.hexnode.com\/threat-watch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hexnode-UEM-for-Patch-Management-300x225-1-133x100.webp?format=webp 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"Hexnode-UEM-for-Patch-Management-300x225\" \/>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class='resource-box__content-section'>\n                            <h5 class='resource-box__content-subheading'>\n                            Featured resource\n                            <\/h5>\n                            <h4 class='resource-box__content-heading'>\n                            Hexnode UEM for Patch Management\n                            <\/h4>\n                            <p class='resource-box__contents'>\n                            See how Hexnode UEM centralizes patch visibility, deployment, compliance tracking, and vulnerability insights across supported Windows and macOS endpoints.\n                            <\/p>\n                            <a class='resource-box__content-link hn-cta__blogs--resource-box' href='https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/resources\/one-pagers\/hexnode-uem-for-patch-management\/'>\n                            Download the One-pager\n                            <svg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' width='20' height='20' viewBox='0 0 20 20'>\n                            <g id='arrow' transform='translate(-309 -191)' opacity='0'>\n                                <rect id='base' width='20' height='20' transform='translate(309 191)' fill='none'\/>\n                                <path id='arrow-2' data-name='arrow' d='M13.093.5,6.8,6.8.5.5' transform='translate(315 207.594) rotate(-90)' fill='none' stroke='#0549d1' stroke-linecap='round' stroke-linejoin='round' stroke-width='1.2'\/>\n                            <\/g>\n                            <\/svg>\n\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/section>\n<h2>Using Hexnode UEM to Check HFS Versions on Managed Windows Devices<\/h2>\n<p>For HFS installations on supported Windows 10 v1709+ or Windows 11 PCs and tablets enrolled through the Hexnode Installer app, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/uem\/\">Hexnode UEM<\/a> scripting to support version discovery and organization-defined remediation workflows.<\/p>\n<p>The Execute Custom Script remote action for Windows supports PowerShell and Batch scripts.

However, our current documentation does not confirm native coverage for Rejetto HFS or CVE-2026-61500. Where HFS-specific coverage remains unverified, you can use tested custom scripts to support version discovery and remediation.<\/p>\n<p>The remediation logic should come from your organization&#8217;s tested script and software-deployment process. Before fleet-wide execution, validate detection paths, version parsing, installer behavior, exit codes, and rollback requirements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"next_blog\"><div class=\"post-next\"><div class=\"hex_blog_box_parent\"><div class=\"blog_warp_next\"><div class=\"next_blog_thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/cdn.hexnode.com\/threat-watch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/legacy-Windows-MDM-software-1024x535-1.webp?format=webp)\"><\/div><div class=\"next_post_content\"><div class=\"center_box\"><h4>Why Are IT Departments Moving Away from Legacy Windows MDM Software?<\/h4><p>See how modern Windows management can reduce fragmented patching, and streamline remediation workflows.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><a class=\"hex_blog_box_link hn-cta__blogs--blog-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/legacy-windows-mdm-software\/\" aria-label=\"Why Are IT Departments Moving Away from Legacy Windows MDM Software?\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>CVE-2026-61500 Turns Login Randomness Into an Administrator Session<\/h3>\n<p>The distinctive risk behind CVE-2026-61500 comes from combining two weaknesses: HFS used a reversible, non-cryptographic generator for security-sensitive session signing while also exposing outputs from that generator to unauthenticated clients.<\/p>\n<p>That combination gives an attacker the information needed to reconstruct the signing key and create a trusted administrator session without possessing the administrator password.<\/p>\n<p>With active probing now observed, organizations should prioritize remediation of affected HFS 3.x deployments.
