CVE-2026-116679: Neko: Authorization bypass in legacy WebRTC input handling

October 27, 2026

When legacy mode is enabled and session.implicit_hosting is enabled, the legacy WebRTC data channel incorrectly authorizes input events due to a logic error in LegacyIsHost().

As a result, an authenticated room member may be able to send mouse and keyboard input through the legacy WebRTC control channel even when controls are locked or the member would otherwise not be authorized through the modern control API.

The issue affects only the legacy WebRTC input path. The modern HTTP/WebSocket control path correctly enforces authorization checks and is not affected.

To exploit this issue, an attacker must:

  • Be authenticated as a room member.
  • Successfully establish a WebRTC connection.
  • Access a deployment using the legacy WebRTC input handler.

No unauthenticated access or privilege escalation outside the application is possible.
