CVE Summary Severity CVSS EPSS Priority Signals
CVE-2016-20026 Critical hardcoded credentials vulnerability in ZKTeco ZKBioSecurity 3.0's bundled Apache Tomcat server that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload malicious WAR files and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. Multiple public exploits are available (Exploit-DB, Packet Storm), making this a high-risk vulnerability for organizations using this biometric security management software. CRITICAL 9.3 0.1% 67
PoC No patch
CVE-2016-20024 Critical insecure file permissions vulnerability in ZKTeco ZKTime.Net 3.0.1.6 that allows unprivileged local users to gain elevated privileges by replacing executable files in the world-writable application directory. Multiple public proof-of-concept exploits are available on Exploit-DB and PacketStorm, making this vulnerability easily exploitable despite requiring local access. While not listed in CISA KEV and lacking current EPSS data, the availability of working exploits and the simplicity of the attack make this a significant risk for organizations using this time and attendance software. CRITICAL 9.3 0.1% 67
PoC No patch
CVE-2016-20030 User enumeration vulnerability in ZKTeco ZKBioSecurity 3.0 that allows unauthenticated attackers to discover valid usernames through partial character submissions to the authentication endpoint. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available, making this vulnerability actively exploitable, though it has a notably high CVSS score of 9.8 that appears inflated given the actual impact is limited to information disclosure. CRITICAL 9.3 0.1% 67
PoC No patch
CVE-2016-20025 Privilege escalation vulnerability in ZKTeco ZKAccess Professional 3.5.3 (Build 0005) where authenticated users can modify executable files due to insecure permissions, allowing them to replace binaries with malicious code and gain elevated privileges. Multiple public exploits are available (exploit-db, PacketStorm) making this a high-risk vulnerability for organizations using this access control software, despite no current KEV listing or EPSS data. HIGH 8.7 0.1% 64
PoC No patch
CVE-2016-20029 ZKTeco ZKBioSecurity 3.0 contains a local file path manipulation vulnerability (CWE-276) that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass access controls and read arbitrary files including configuration files, source code, and application resources. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists, and the vulnerability has moderate real-world risk due to its local attack vector requirement but high confidentiality impact on sensitive biometric system data. MEDIUM 6.9 0.0% 55
PoC No patch
CVE-2016-20031 ZKTeco ZKBioSecurity 3.0 contains a local authentication bypass vulnerability in visLogin.jsp that allows low-privileged attackers to authenticate without valid credentials by spoofing IPv6 loopback addresses and leveraging hardcoded credentials. An authenticated local attacker can access sensitive information and perform unauthorized actions; public exploits are available (Packet Storm Security, Exploit-DB), indicating moderate real-world risk despite the 5.5 CVSS score reflecting local-only attack vector. MEDIUM 6.8 0.0% 54
PoC No patch
CVE-2016-20028 ZKTeco ZKBioSecurity 3.0 contains a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to perform unauthorized administrative actions, specifically adding superadmin accounts without proper validation. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests that, when visited by a logged-in administrator, silently create new superadmin credentials, effectively granting the attacker persistent unauthorized administrative access. This vulnerability requires user interaction (a logged-in admin must visit an attacker-controlled page) but does not require elevated privileges to trigger, presenting a moderate but real risk to organizations using this biometric access control system. MEDIUM 5.3 0.0% 47
PoC No patch
CVE-2016-20032 Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ZKTeco ZKAccess Security System 5.3.1 that allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts via the 'holiday_name' and 'memo' POST parameters without authentication. Multiple public proof-of-concept exploits are available, making this vulnerability actively exploitable in unpatched systems. MEDIUM 5.1 0.0% 46
PoC No patch
CVE-2016-20027 Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ZKTeco ZKBioSecurity 3.0 that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary HTML and JavaScript code in a victim's browser session through malicious URLs containing unsanitized parameters. The vulnerability affects all versions of ZKBioSecurity 3.0 across the product line, and publicly available exploits exist (confirmed via PacketStorm Security), making it a moderate-risk vulnerability (CVSS 6.1) with demonstrated real-world exploitation potential. MEDIUM 5.1 0.0% 46
PoC No patch
