Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 22 Oct 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Immediately restrict network access to the /center/api/installation/detection endpoint using firewalls or network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks.
Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all JSON data received by the CSMP iSecure Center, particularly disallowing or escaping special characters such as $( ) that can be used for command injection.
Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual or suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint, including unexpected command patterns or payloads.
Deploy intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics designed to detect OS command injection attempts against Hikvision products.
Coordinate with Hikvision for timely updates or patches and apply them as soon as they become available.
Conduct security audits and penetration testing focused on the CSMP iSecure Center to identify any other potential injection points or weaknesses.
Educate security teams about this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include procedures for handling exploitation attempts.
Consider isolating the CSMP iSecure Center on a dedicated management network with minimal access to reduce attack surface.

Description

Hikvision CSMP (Comprehensive Security Management Platform) iSecure Center through 2024-08-01 allows execution of a command within $( ) in /center/api/installation/detection JSON data, as exploited in the wild in 2024 and 2025.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2024-58274 could result in unauthorized remote code execution on critical security management infrastructure, potentially leading to full system compromise. This can disrupt security monitoring and control functions, degrade the integrity of surveillance data, and expose sensitive information. The attack could facilitate lateral movement within networks, enabling attackers to pivot to other critical systems. Given the widespread use of Hikvision products in public safety, transportation, and government sectors across Europe, the impact could extend to national security and public safety operations. Additionally, the breach of such systems could undermine trust in security services and result in regulatory penalties under GDPR if personal data is compromised. The high severity and ease of exploitation without authentication make this vulnerability a significant risk for organizations that have not yet applied mitigations or patches.

CWE-78Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #9OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component.
Architecture and Design
If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Sandbox or Jail
Run the code in a "jail" or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which files can be accessed in a particular directory or which commands can be executed by the software.
Architecture and Design · Attack Surface Reduction
For any data that will be used to generate a command to be executed, keep as much of that data out of external control as possible. For example, in web applications, this may require storing the data locally in the session's state instead of sending it out to the client in a hidden form field.
