Overview
In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, new vulnerabilities are being discovered and exploited almost every day. One such high-risk vulnerability has been discovered in AVTECH EagleEyes 2.0.0, a popular video surveillance software. Identified as CVE-2025-46408, this vulnerability has a CVSS Severity Score of 9.8, placing it at the highest level of risk. This vulnerability affects users of AVTECH EagleEyes 2.0.0, a widely used software, thus amplifying its potential impact exponentially.
The CVE-2025-46408 vulnerability is critically significant as it allows an attacker to bypass domain validation by exploiting the methods push.lite.avtech.com.AvtechLib.GetHttpsResponse and push.lite.avtech.com.Push_HttpService.getNewHttpClient, which set ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER. Consequently, this could lead to potential system compromises or data leakages, putting user’s data and privacy at considerable risk.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability CVE-2025-46408 takes advantage of a security oversight in the AVTECH EagleEyes software. The software’s methods, GetHttpsResponse and getNewHttpClient, bypass domain validation by setting ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER. This means that the software does not perform the necessary checks to ensure that the server’s hostname matches the domain name in the server’s certificate. An attacker can exploit this oversight by using a malicious server with a fraudulent certificate, tricking the software into establishing a connection and potentially compromising the system or leaking data.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request that a malicious server might use:
GET /malicious/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: malicious.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "malicious_payload": "Exploit code here..." }In this example, the malicious server uses a GET request to send a malicious payload to the software. Since the software does not validate the hostname against the server’s domain, it might accept this request and execute the malicious payload, leading to a potential system compromise or data leakage.
Mitigation Guidance
As a preventative measure, users are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, users can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure to monitor and block potentially malicious traffic.
