Vulnerability Assessment
| Weakness |
CWE
ASVS 5.0
V16 - Security Logging and Error Handling Reachable assertion handling
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network reachability to a Pexip Infinity node's media implementation and the ability to send crafted media input that fails input validation; no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are needed per the CVSS vector. Affected: Pexip Infinity before 38.2, plus 39.0, 39.1 and 40.0. The primary limiting factor is exposure - media-processing nodes reachable from an untrusted network are at risk, whereas deployments where media interfaces are restricted to trusted networks or fronted by session border controls materially reduce reachability. Impact is confined to availability (service abort/DoS); there is no data exposure or code execution. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 7.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated denial-of-service with no confidentiality or integrity impact - availability-only, which is consistent with CWE-617 (a reachable assertion / software abort in the media stack). All impact signals point the same direction and there is no internal contradiction in the data. However, the exploitation-likelihood signals are absent: no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept were provided, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' SSVC decision inputs were not supplied. The practical priority is moderate: an unauthenticated remote DoS against a real-time media platform is operationally meaningful (a triggered abort drops conferences), but with no exploitation evidence and no code integrity/confidentiality exposure, this is a service-availability patch rather than an emergency. The vendor security bulletin reference and explicit fixed versions (38.2, and later than 40.0) confirm a patch is available. Note the version range is unusual - fixed in 38.2 yet 39.0, 39.1 and 40.0 are re-affected - verify the correct upgrade target against the Pexip bulletin before patching. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker with network reach to a Pexip Infinity Conferencing/Transcoding node sends crafted media traffic containing input that the media implementation fails to validate, triggering a software abort. The process aborts and the media service is denied to legitimate participants, dropping active conferences. No public exploit code is currently identified, and no authentication or user interaction is required per the CVSS vector. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Unauthenticated remote attackers can abort the media process in Pexip Infinity, causing a denial of service on conferencing nodes that are reachable from an untrusted network. The root cause is improper input validation in the media implementation (CWE-617, a reachable assertion/software abort): crafted media input drives the software into an unrecoverable abort rather than failing gracefully. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 7.5) confirms this is availability-only - no confidentiality or integrity impact and no code execution - and affected releases are Pexip Infinity before 38.2, plus 39.0, 39.1 and 40.0. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis; the practical exposure driver is whether media-processing interfaces are directly reachable, since deployments that restrict media to trusted networks or front it with session border controls materially reduce reachability.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to a fixed Pexip Infinity release as documented in the vendor security bulletins at https://docs.pexip.com/admin/security_bulletins.htm; per the available data, 38.2 removes the flaw for the pre-38.2 line, while deployments running 39.0, 39.1 or 40.0 must confirm the corresponding corrected maintenance release on that bulletin page, since no specific fix version for those trains is stated in this dataset. Where immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce reachability to the media implementation: restrict media ports (the RTP/WebRTC media ranges used by Infinity) with firewall or security-group rules so only trusted peer nodes, session border controllers, or enterprise media relays can reach them, and place media behind session border control or a media relay - the trade-off is that this breaks direct connectivity for remote or BYOD endpoints that cannot route through the trusted path. Because exploitation is network-reachable with no authentication and no user interaction, monitoring media processes for repeated aborts or restart loops and rate-limiting or blocking crafted media from untrusted sources are useful interim mitigations, though both are only partial compensating controls and do not remove the underlying input-validation defect.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability sits in Pexip Infinity's media implementation - the component that terminates and processes real-time media streams for the conferencing platform - and is classified as CWE-617 (Reachable Assertion) arising from improper input validation. In this class of defect, input that fails validation reaches an assertion or fatal error path and forces the process to abort, so the failure mode is an availability loss rather than memory corruption, authentication bypass, or data disclosure. The affected product is identified by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:pexip:infinity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, and the vulnerability is network-reachable with low attack complexity, no privileges (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) per the assessed vector, which means an attacker who can deliver crafted media traffic to an exposed node can trigger the abort without any prior foothold. Because impact is limited to the media service aborting, exploitation degrades or interrupts conferencing service rather than exposing or altering content; repeated triggering could sustain an outage until the process is restarted or the offending input is blocked.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Pexip Infinity before 38.2, plus 39.0, 39.1 and 40.0, is affected by improper input validation in the media implementation which allows a remote attacker to trigger a software abort resulting in a denial of service.
Executive ViewAI
Pexip Infinity video conferencing deployments are affected by a high-severity availability vulnerability that can allow unauthenticated remote attackers to disrupt conferencing services by forcing media processes to abort. Organizations using affected versions (prior to 38.2, plus 39.0, 39.1, and 40.0) may experience unexpected meeting outages, impacting employee collaboration and client-facing communications. With no vendor patch yet available, leadership should focus on reducing exposure of media interfaces and monitoring for disruptions.
Restrict media-processing interfaces to trusted networks; front with session border controllers (SBCs); implement rate limiting and anomaly detection for media process aborts. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis.
