CVE-2020-24215

52
FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-24215 is a critical vulnerability affecting HiSilicon-based IPTV/H.264/H.265 video encoders from vendors like jtechdigital, provideoinstruments, and szuray. It allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution by exploiting hard-coded credentials in HTTP requests, enabling full administrative control, configuration retrieval (including cleartext passwords), and custom firmware uploads. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL) and an EPSS score indicating high exploitability, this vulnerability poses a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector and low complexity. While not currently in CISA's KEV catalog or showing active exploitation in the wild, a public exploit (EDB-48902) exists, and the lack of community discussion or media coverage does not diminish its severe potential impact.
