CVE-2026-13742
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedHoneywell IQ MultiAccess, all versions prior to and including version 28, contain an improper digital signature verification vulnerability. An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the replacement of downloaded file with a malicious one. Honeywell also recommends updating to the most recent version of this product, service, or offering [V27 SP1, V28 SP1]
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Honeywell IQ MultiAccess product contains an improper digital signature verification vulnerability in its file download mechanism. This allows an attacker to potentially replace legitimate downloaded files with malicious ones, exploiting the lack of proper cryptographic validation before file acceptance.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Honeywell IQ MultiAccess installationCheck for the product by searching for IQ MultiAccess processes, services, or web application components. Look for installed software listings or running services named 'MultiAccess' or 'IQ MultiAccess' on the system.Affected if The product is not found or not installed on the system (not affected)
-
Identify installed versionLocate the version information through the application web interface (typically in an About or System Info page), check installed package files, or query the application directly for its version number. Compare this against the fixed versions V27 SP1 and V28 SP1.Affected if The installed version is earlier than V27 SP1 or V28 SP1, or the version cannot be determined but is assumed to be older
-
Verify file download feature is enabledCheck whether the file download mechanism in the web application is accessible and enabled. Look for download links, file transfer features, or update download functionality within the IQ MultiAccess interface.Affected if File download functionality is present and accessible in the application
-
Check for signature validation configurationExamine the application configuration files or settings related to file download and update mechanisms. Look for settings that control digital signature verification or cryptographic validation of downloaded files.Affected if Signature verification is disabled, not configured, or absent from the download settings
The environment is affected if Honeywell IQ MultiAccess is installed with a version earlier than V27 SP1 or V28 SP1 and the file download feature is enabled and accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate Honeywell IQ MultiAccess to version V27 SP1 or V28 SP1 (or later) as recommended by the vendor to remediate this vulnerability.
V28 SP1 (or V27 SP1 for V27.x line)
- 1. Identify the currently installed version of Honeywell IQ MultiAccess
- 2. If running a version prior to V27, upgrade directly to V27 SP1 or later
- 3. If running V27.x, upgrade to V27 SP1
- 4. If running V28.x, upgrade to V28 SP1
- 5. After upgrade, verify the digital signature verification functionality is working correctly
- 6. Consult Honeywell release notes for any configuration changes required post-upgrade
