| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires physical access to the device's serial (UART) console on the Anjvision YSSD-RTMP-H5 camera plus at least low-level local privilege (PR:L) to read the stored legacy password hash; the hash is protected only by weak DES-based encryption, so it can then be cracked offline. Limiting factors: the physical attack vector (AV:P) rules out any remote or network exploitation, an attacker must already be at the hardware, and full impact depends on successfully cracking the recovered hash to obtain usable credentials. This is a physical-access hardening weakness, not a remotely reachable vulnerability. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-urgency issue despite the 7.0 (CVSS 4.0 High) headline score, because the dominant limiting factor is the physical attack vector. The vendor's CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) requires an attacker to have physical access to the device's serial (UART) console AND already hold some level of local privilege (PR:L) to read the legacy DES-based password hash. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit provided in the input, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The three signals are consistent rather than conflicting: a physical-only vector (AV:P) plus no exploitation evidence points to a hardening/defense-in-depth weakness rather than a remotely weaponizable flaw. One internal tension worth noting: the vendor assigns full VC:H/VI:H/VA:H impact, which is only realized if cracking the weak DES hash yields credentials that grant complete device control - plausible for an IoT camera with a single privileged account, but the 'weak DES encryption' (CWE-1391) is fundamentally a credential-recovery/information-disclosure primitive, and integrity/availability impact is a downstream consequence of the recovered password, not a direct effect. Treat as a low-priority firmware hardening item for physically exposed deployments. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with physical access to a deployed Anjvision YSSD-RTMP-H5 camera connects to the exposed serial/UART console and retrieves the legacy DES-based password hash. Because DES-based hashing is cryptographically weak, the attacker cracks it offline in a short time to recover the plaintext credential, then reuses it to gain privileged control of the device. No public exploit code is identified, and the physical-access requirement makes this a targeted rather than scalable attack. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 29, 2026
Anjvision YSSD-RTMP-H5 cameras running firmware 3.3.2.4 retain a legacy password hash that is exposed on the device's serial (UART) console and protected only by weak DES-based encryption, so an attacker who already has physical access to the hardware with low-level local privileges can lift the hash and crack it offline to recover usable credentials. The attack vector is physical (CVSS AV:P), which rules out any remote or network exploitation, and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis (the product is not listed in CISA KEV). Despite the 7.0 (CVSS 4.0 High) headline score, this is a physical-access hardening weakness and the practical risk is low given the prerequisites.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; organizations should track CISA ICS advisory ICSA-26-272-05 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-272-05) and the NVD entry for CVE-2026-100299 for a firmware update that removes or re-secures the legacy DES-based hash, and apply it as soon as Anjvision publishes a fixed firmware revision. Because the exposure requires physical access to the UART console, the effective mitigations are physical and administrative: restrict and log physical access to cameras and their enclosures, place devices in locked cabinets or install tamper-evident seals, and where the hardware allows, depopulate or disable the debug/serial pin header - the trade-off being loss of field debugging and recovery capability and possible warranty implications. Change device credentials after deployment and ensure the affected password is not reused on other systems; this does not stop hash extraction or cracking but limits lateral impact if it is cracked. Isolate the cameras on a dedicated VLAN with no outbound access beyond required streaming endpoints to reduce follow-on movement if recovered credentials are reused elsewhere. Authentication requirements are confirmed as low-privileged (CVSS PR:L); exploitation status is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; patch status is no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue maps to CWE-1391 (Use of Weak Credentials) and stems from legacy design decisions in Anjvision YSSD-RTMP-H5 firmware 3.3.2.4, a firmware image for an RTMP/H5 streaming camera. The device's serial (UART) console exposes a stored password hash that is encrypted with a weak DES-based scheme rather than being salted and hashed with a modern algorithm, so possession of the ciphertext materially reduces the effort required to recover the underlying credential. The authoritative independent assessment rates this CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H - physical access plus low-level local privileges, no user interaction, no scope change, with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact once the hash is cracked. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) is consistent in requiring physical proximity (AV:P) and low privileges (PR:L) and in recording no subsequent-system impact; the two scores diverge numerically (7.0 vs. a 3.1-equivalent magnitude), which is why the headline rating overstates the operational urgency. No CPE identifiers were supplied with the source data, so affected inventory must be derived from the vendor/product/version strings rather than CPE matching.

Serial-console access forces AV:P and reading the stored hash needs local privilege (PR:L); recovering the weak DES-hashed privileged credential yields full C/I/A control of the device.

DescriptionCVE.org
In Anjvision YSSD‑RTMP‑H5 firmware version 3.3.2.4, the device includes a legacy password hash on the serial console that relies on a weak DES‑based encryption.
Executive ViewAI
Anjvision YSSD-RTMP-H5 cameras running firmware 3.3.2.4 store a legacy password hash accessible via the device's UART console, protected by weak DES encryption, requiring physical access to exploit. With no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the practical organizational risk is low, but leadership should care because physical security gaps at edge locations could allow an attacker with brief hardware access to recover credentials and potentially pivot into the surveillance network.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: physically restrict access to device enclosures and UART ports using tamper-evident seals and locked cabinets; enforce unique, complex credentials; disable unused services and UART debugging interfaces; segment camera networks; and monitor for physical tampering.
