Summary
CVE-2026-100291 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability affecting the Anjvision YSSD-RTMP-H5 device, caused by insecure default initialization of ONVIF service endpoints (CWE-1188). Multiple ONVIF management endpoints process requests without enforcing required authentication, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to access sensitive device operations. The flaw carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical), with a CVSS v4.0 score of 9.3.
Technical details
- Root cause: The device initializes certain ONVIF service endpoints with insecure defaults, resulting in authentication checks not being enforced on management-related requests.
- Trigger conditions: An attacker sends requests directly to the affected ONVIF endpoints over the network; no credentials, user interaction, or prior access are required.
- Attack vector: Network-based (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N).
- Impact: Successful exploitation allows unauthorized access to sensitive device operations, with confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts all rated High — potentially enabling attackers to view, modify, or disrupt device configuration and functionality.
- Context: This vulnerability was disclosed as part of a broader cluster of flaws (CVE-2026-100291 through CVE-2026-100299) affecting the same firmware build, which also includes OS command injection, hard-coded credentials, weak credential storage, and cryptographic signature verification issues.
Affected software
- Anjvision YSSD-RTMP-H5 — firmware version 3.3.2.4_build_2024-12-26
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.8 (Critical)
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CVSS v4.0 Base Score: 9.3 (Critical)
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: No vendor patch is currently available. Anjvision has not engaged with CISA to develop remediation for this vulnerability cluster and has not committed to a fix timeline.
- Network mitigations (recommended in the absence of a patch):
- Do not expose the affected device or its ONVIF service endpoints directly to the internet.
- Place the device behind a firewall and isolate it on a segmented network separate from business-critical systems.
- Restrict network access to ONVIF endpoints to trusted management hosts/VLANs only.
- Require VPN access (with the VPN itself kept fully patched) for any remote management needs.
- Monitor for unauthenticated or anomalous requests to ONVIF management endpoints.
- Contact Anjvision support directly to inquire about firmware updates or compensating guidance.
