| Exploitation Conditions | The vulnerability requires the attacker to occupy the same network segment as the EZVIZ App device (adjacent network access - AV:A in CVSS). The exploit targets legacy cloud feature modules, meaning only EZVIZ App installations communicating with these outdated API endpoints are affected - installations already upgraded may use newer API versions with stronger security. The attack is most feasible if the EZVIZ App's video encryption feature is NOT enabled (the vendor advisory explicitly recommends enabling it, implying it is optional and may be disabled by default in some versions). No user interaction is required (UI:N) - the attack is entirely passive network eavesdropping. High complexity (AC:H) suggests the attacker must overcome HTTPS or TLS, or the legacy APIs may use non-standard encryption mechanisms that add friction. No authentication is required from the attacker (PR:N), but the defender must first have an unencrypted or weakly encrypted API channel active. |
| Impact | CVSS 5.3 (AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates adjacent network access is required, reducing real-world exploitation scope compared to network-accessible vulnerabilities. However, the high confidentiality impact (C:H) reflects the severity of data disclosure - video streams or authentication tokens can be captured. The attack complexity is high (AC:H), suggesting attackers must overcome defensive measures such as network segmentation or HTTPS enforcement, but the legacy API design flaw suggests these mitigations may be bypassed or absent. No EPSS score, KEV status, or POC availability data is provided, preventing assessment of active exploitation likelihood. The lack of integrity impact (I:N) and availability impact (A:N) limits damage scope to confidentiality breaches. Risk is MODERATE-to-HIGH for users on shared networks or in environments where adjacent network access is feasible (WiFi, LAN, compromised upstream routers). Enterprise deployments may face higher risk if video encryption feature is not mandatory by default. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker positioned on the same local network (WiFi, LAN, or compromised router) passively monitors network traffic between the EZVIZ App and cloud servers. By intercepting API requests using tools like Wireshark or mitmproxy, the attacker captures unencrypted or weakly encrypted video metadata, authentication tokens, or video stream data. If video encryption is not enabled, the attacker can decode or relay the transmitted video to obtain surveillance footage without credentials or user interaction. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 09, 2026
EZVIZ App versions using legacy cloud feature modules with outdated API interfaces allow attackers to eavesdrop on network traffic and disclose sensitive video data. The vulnerability requires adjacent network access and high exploitation complexity, but affects all EZVIZ App versions until patched. Attackers can obtain video transmission data without authentication or user interaction by intercepting unencrypted or weakly encrypted API communications.
RemediationAI
Upgrade EZVIZ App to the latest available version from the official EZVIZ app store or Hikvision support portal; exact patched version number is not specified in available advisory data, so users should install the newest release available. Immediately enable the video encryption feature within EZVIZ App settings to protect data in transit - this is the critical compensating control even after upgrade, as it mitigates eavesdropping on API communications. For users unable to upgrade immediately, restrict EZVIZ App access to trusted networks only (home WiFi with WPA2/WPA3 security, corporate VPN) and avoid public or untrusted WiFi. Disable cloud features if local-only operation is acceptable. Verify that HTTPS/TLS is enforced for all app-to-cloud communications in device settings.

Technical ContextAI · show details
EZVIZ App integrates cloud feature modules with legacy API interfaces that transmit data over the network without sufficient encryption or authentication protections. The vulnerability stems from the use of older, deprecated API designs that were not hardened against network eavesdropping attacks. The CWE is not specified in available data, but the core issue is improper use of cryptography (likely CWE-327 or CWE-522) combined with insufficient transport security for sensitive video metadata or credentials. The CPE indicates all versions of EZVIZ App across all platforms are potentially affected until updates are deployed.

DescriptionCVE.org
Some EZVIZ products utilize older versions of cloud feature modules with legacy API interfaces, which pose a data transmission risk. Attackers can exploit this by eavesdropping on network requests to obtain data.Users are advised to upgrade the app to the latest version and enable the video encryption feature.
