Priority (0–325)
The priority score is a consolidated metric that condenses several individual signals into a single, action-guiding ranking: technical severity (CVSS), exploitation likelihood (EPSS), known-exploited status (KEV) and the context of the affected asset. The aim is to answer the only truly important question in vulnerability management: what first?

Exploit maturity
An exploit is code or a technique that specifically uses a concrete vulnerability to force unintended behaviour — such as executing code or escalating privileges. It is the tool that turns a theoretical flaw into a practical attack.

XIEM Effective CVSS
XIEM® is the tiered managed-security operating model from NEOSEC and a registered trademark of NEOSEC GmbH. It extends classic SIEM — the central collection, normalisation and correlation of security-relevant events — with endpoint forensics, network visibility and deception technology, and consolidates them into three building tiers: Sentry, Orchestrate and Command.
Read in glossary- 7.3 Methodology
CVSS v3
CVSS is the globally established, open standard for assessing the technical severity of a vulnerability on a scale from 0 to 10. It describes how easily a flaw can be exploited and what damage it can cause — but not how likely its actual exploitation is. CVSS and the complementary EPSS deliberately answer different questions.

CVSS v4
CVSS is the globally established, open standard for assessing the technical severity of a vulnerability on a scale from 0 to 10. It describes how easily a flaw can be exploited and what damage it can cause — but not how likely its actual exploitation is. CVSS and the complementary EPSS deliberately answer different questions.

KEV status
The KEV catalogue is a list maintained by the US authority CISA of vulnerabilities for which active exploitation in the wild has been confirmed. It answers not the question „how severe?“ but „is it already being attacked?“ — thereby sharply prioritising patching.

CWE
CWE is a catalogue of typical weakness types in software and hardware — such as flawed input validation, unsafe memory handling or poor authentication. Where a CVE names a concrete vulnerability in a concrete product, a CWE describes the underlying class of defect.

Detection rules
No NEOSEC detection rule is available for this vulnerability yet.
Classification under NIS2 and CRA
Rule-based classification from exploitation status and severity. It does not replace a case-by-case assessment.
NIS2
NIS2 is EU Directive (EU) 2022/2555 to raise the level of cybersecurity across the Union. It substantially broadens obligations compared with the first NIS directive: more sectors, mandatory risk management, staged reporting duties and personal accountability of senior management.
Read in glossary- High technical severity: assess and remediate the vulnerability in vulnerability handling under Art. 21(2)(e) NIS2 and document the decision.
CRA
The CRA is EU Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 setting horizontal cybersecurity requirements for „products with digital elements“ — from industrial controllers and software to connected consumer devices. For the first time manufacturers must ensure security across the entire product lifecycle, handle vulnerabilities and provide security updates.
Read in glossary- From 11.12.2027, Annex I Part II CRA requires manufacturers of affected products with digital elements to handle vulnerabilities without delay and provide security updates.
ISO/IEC 27001
ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally leading standard for an information security management system (ISMS). It describes a risk-based, process-oriented framework to systematically plan, implement, review and improve information security.

Description
A vulnerability was identified in the-momentum open-wearables up to 0.6.2. This impacts the function redeem_invitation_code of the file backend/app/api/routes/v1/user_invitation_code.py of the component Public Invitation-Code Redemption Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument code leads to missing authentication. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Weakness classes (CWE)
CWE-287Improper Authentication
Class
When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
Entry at MITRE CWE-287CWE-306Missing Authentication for Critical Function
Base
The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.
Entry at MITRE CWE-306

Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by its CNA. Further investigation showed that it was not a security issue. Notes: The endpoint is public on purpose and the invitation code is the credential. This is the standalone SDK onboarding path for mobile apps that have no backend of their own: a developer generates a code via the authenticated dashboard endpoint, the user types it into the app, and it's redeemed for SDK-scoped tokens.CVSS removed VulDB: AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X—CVSS removed VulDB: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L—CVSS removed VulDB: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)—Weakness type (CWE) removed VulDB: CWE-287—Weakness type (CWE) removed VulDB: CWE-306—Reference removed VulDB: https://github.com/the-momentum/open-wearables/—Reference removed VulDB: https://github.com/the-momentum/open-wearables/issues/1274—Reference removed VulDB: https://vuldb.com/cve/CVE-2026-78154—Reference removed VulDB: https://vuldb.com/submit/882887—Reference removed VulDB: https://vuldb.com/vuln/394536—Reference removed VulDB: https://vuldb.com/vuln/394536/cti—Affected versions (publisher) removed open-wearables—Source identifier: cna@vuldb.com
