CVE-2025-64310 identifies a critical security vulnerability in SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION's EPSON WebConfig and Epson Web Control interfaces used for managing SEIKO EPSON projector products. The core issue is the improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts, meaning the system does not implement mechanisms such as account lockout, rate limiting, or CAPTCHA challenges to prevent brute force attacks. An attacker can remotely attempt numerous password guesses against administrative accounts without any automated defenses, significantly increasing the likelihood of successfully obtaining valid credentials. The vulnerability affects versions as specified by the vendor, though exact versions are not detailed in the provided information. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflects the vulnerability's critical impact: it can be exploited remotely (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). The scope remains unchanged (S:U), but the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is high (C:H/I:H/A:H), meaning a successful attack could lead to full administrative control over the affected projector devices. Such control could allow attackers to manipulate device settings, disrupt presentations or meetings, and potentially pivot into broader network environments if these devices are connected to internal networks. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's nature makes it a prime candidate for exploitation, especially in environments where these projectors are widely deployed and remotely accessible. The lack of patch links suggests that organizations should closely monitor vendor communications for updates and advisories. The vulnerability was published on November 21, 2025, with the initial reservation date on October 30, 2025, indicating recent disclosure and the need for rapid response.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-64310 can be significant, particularly in sectors that rely heavily on SEIKO EPSON projectors for critical presentations, training, or communication, such as education, government, corporate enterprises, and conference centers. Unauthorized administrative access could lead to disruption of services during important events, leakage of sensitive configuration data, or use of compromised devices as footholds for lateral movement within internal networks. Given the high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, attackers could manipulate projector settings, disable devices, or use them as entry points for further attacks. This risk is exacerbated in remote or hybrid work environments where devices may be accessible over less secure networks. The absence of brute force protections increases the likelihood of credential compromise, especially if default or weak passwords are in use. Additionally, compromised devices could be used to undermine trust in organizational communications or to conduct espionage. The critical severity demands that European organizations prioritize detection and remediation to avoid operational disruptions and potential data breaches.

1. Apply vendor-provided patches or firmware updates as soon as they become available to address the authentication flaw directly. 2. Until patches are released, restrict network access to the projector management interfaces using firewalls or network segmentation, allowing only trusted IP addresses or VPN access. 3. Implement strong, unique administrative passwords and enforce password policies to reduce the risk of successful brute force attacks. 4. Monitor authentication logs for repeated failed login attempts and configure alerting mechanisms to detect brute force activity early. 5. Where possible, disable remote management interfaces or limit their exposure to internal networks only. 6. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) that can detect and block brute force patterns targeting these devices. 7. Educate IT staff and users about the risks and signs of compromise related to projector management systems. 8. Maintain an inventory of all SEIKO EPSON projector devices and their firmware versions to ensure timely updates and vulnerability management. 9. Engage with the vendor for detailed guidance and verify the affected versions to prioritize remediation efforts effectively.
