CVE-2018-17915

Vulnerability

All versions of Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology Co., Ltd XMeye P2P Cloud Server are affected by missing encryption of sensitive data (CWE-311). The XMeye service and firmware update communication are transmitted in plaintext, exposing video feeds, login credentials, and update payloads. This vulnerability impacts all products using the XMeye P2P Cloud Server, including devices from various OEM vendors. [1]

Exploitation

An attacker with network access can intercept unencrypted traffic between the device and the cloud server. No authentication is required to eavesdrop. The attacker can capture video feeds, steal XMeye login credentials, or perform a man-in-the-middle attack to impersonate the update server and deliver malicious firmware. [1]

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to video feeds, obtain login credentials, and potentially execute arbitrary code by replacing firmware. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device and its data. [1]

Mitigation

As of the advisory publication date (October 10, 2018), no fix was available. Users are advised to monitor vendor updates and consider network segmentation or firewall rules to limit exposure. The vendor has not released a patch; affected devices may be EOL or unsupported. [1]
