3DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in Vaelsys VaelsysV4 up to 5.1.0/5.4.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /grid/vgrid_server.php of the component Web interface. Performing a manipulation of the argument xajaxargs results in use of weak hash. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. It is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 5.1.1 and 5.4.1 is able to mitigate this issue. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.
AnalysisAI
Weak cryptographic hashing (CWE-327) in VaelsysV4's PHP web interface exposes sensitive information to authenticated remote attackers who can manipulate the xajaxargs parameter of /grid/vgrid_server.php. Affected versions span the 5.1.0 and 5.4.0 release lines; patched releases 5.1.1 and 5.4.1 are available. No public exploit identified at time of analysis per CISA KEV, but a public proof-of-concept exists, and the EPSS score of 0.03% confirms very limited real-world exploitation activity to date.
Technical ContextAI
VaelsysV4 is a PHP-based video surveillance and security management platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:vaelsys:vaelsys:4.1.0). The affected endpoint /grid/vgrid_server.php appears to use xAjax, a legacy PHP AJAX framework that passes serialized arguments via the xajaxargs parameter. CWE-327 (Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm) indicates the application applies a cryptographically weak hashing function - likely MD5 or SHA-1 - to sensitive request data or stored values processed through this endpoint. Such algorithms are vulnerable to preimage attacks, collision attacks, or rainbow-table lookups, allowing an attacker who can observe or interact with hashed outputs to reconstruct or infer the original sensitive values. The PHP tag in the intelligence metadata reinforces that the flaw is in server-side PHP logic rather than a client-side or framework-level component.
RemediationAI
Upgrade VaelsysV4 to version 5.1.1 (from the 5.1.x branch) or 5.4.1 (from the 5.4.x branch), which are the vendor-confirmed patched releases per the advisory at https://vaelsys.github.io/security-advisory/advisories/VSEC_V4_2025_07_0002.html. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the /grid/vgrid_server.php endpoint via web server configuration (e.g., IP allowlist or require elevated authentication at the reverse proxy layer); note this may interrupt grid-related AJAX functionality for affected users. As a broader compensating control, ensure the VaelsysV4 web interface is accessible only over a VPN or private network segment, removing the network-accessible attack surface entirely at the cost of eliminating external access to the management interface.
