Answer in brief
CVE-2026-16731 records a High severity (CVSS 8.3) vulnerability in Authentication and authorization bypass via cryptographic timing side-channel attack in StationScout. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps OMICRON electronics GmbH/OMICRON StationScout (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 8.3. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

OMICRON StationScout before version 3.05 contains a cryptographic timing side-channel vulnerability in the backend authentication mechanism that may allow an unauthenticated attacker to forge valid authentication credentials, bypass authentication and authorization, and impersonate legitimate clients. An attacker can gain full access to the system configuration, allowing modification, reset, or unauthorized alteration of system parameters or injecting network traffic into the connected network.
