CVE-2026-2624: Authentication Bypass in ePati's Antikor NGFW
Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in ePati Cyber Security Technologies Inc. Antikor Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) allows Authentication Bypass.
This issue affects Antikor Next Generation Firewall (NGFW): from v.2.0.1298 before v.2.0.1301.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-2624 is a critical authentication bypass in ePati Antikor Next Generation Firewall. A remote attacker may access a critical function without logging in. For an edge security appliance, this creates serious risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability if an affected version is exposed.
Executive priority
Treat as urgent for any affected Antikor NGFW deployment, especially internet-facing systems. Firewalls protect critical network boundaries, and unauthenticated bypass flaws can undermine that control. Remediate or isolate affected appliances promptly, then validate version status and exposure reduction.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-306, Missing Authentication for Critical Function, in Antikor NGFW versions from 2.0.1298 before 2.0.1301. CVSS 3.1 is 9.8: network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Likely exposure
Organizations running ePati Antikor NGFW version 2.0.1298 or later before 2.0.1301 are in scope. Exposure is most urgent where the appliance or affected function is reachable from untrusted networks. The sources do not provide product configuration details or affected endpoints.
Exploitation context
No source provided here reports active exploitation, and the CVE is not marked as CISA KEV. However, the vulnerability is remotely reachable, unauthenticated, low complexity, and affects a firewall product, making timely remediation important even without public exploitation evidence.
Researcher notes
Public details are limited to the CVE description, CVSS vector, CWE-306 classification, affected version range, and government advisory references. The USOM link is tagged as broken in the source bundle. No exploit details, indicators, or configuration-specific attack surface information are provided.
Mitigation direction
Identify all deployed Antikor NGFW appliances and their software versions.
Upgrade affected systems to version 2.0.1301 or later if vendor guidance confirms availability.
Restrict untrusted network access to appliance management and administrative surfaces.
Monitor vendor and Turkish government advisories for updated remediation instructions.
Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or externally reachable deployments.
Validation and detection
Confirm Antikor NGFW version on every appliance.
Flag versions from 2.0.1298 before 2.0.1301 as affected.
Verify post-update version is 2.0.1301 or later.
Review authentication and administrative logs for anomalies during the exposure window.
Document network exposure of each appliance before and after remediation.

CWE-306: Credential and account abuse lookup
Authentication and credential weaknesses can make valid-account abuse and credential telemetry useful review starting points. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references authentication or credential exposure, so valid-account and credential-access review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
