CVE-2025-34066: CWE-295 Improper Certificate Validation in AVTECH IP cameras
An improper certificate validation vulnerability exists in AVTECH IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs due to the use of wget with --no-check-certificate in scripts like SyncCloudAccount.sh and SyncPermit.sh. This exposes HTTPS communications to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-34066 is an improper certificate validation vulnerability (CWE-295) in AVTECH IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs. The issue arises because scripts such as SyncCloudAccount.sh and SyncPermit.sh use wget with the --no-check-certificate option, which disables SSL/TLS certificate verification. This improper validation exposes HTTPS communications to potential man-in-the-middle attacks, allowing an attacker to intercept or manipulate data transmitted between the device and remote servers.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on HTTPS communications of affected AVTECH devices. This could lead to interception, modification, or redirection of sensitive data exchanged with cloud or remote services. The CVSS score of 8.3 indicates a high impact, with network attack vector, no user interaction required, and partial attack complexity. However, no known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Since the affected products are not cloud services, remediation depends on AVTECH releasing an official fix or update to correct the certificate validation process. Users should monitor AVTECH advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, users should consider network-level protections such as TLS interception detection or restricting device network access to trusted environments to reduce exposure.
