Overview
The CVE-2025-50944 is a high-severity vulnerability that was discovered in the AVTECH EagleEyes 2.0.0 security camera software. This vulnerability exposes systems to potential compromise or data leakage due to a flaw in the method of TLS chain validation. The software’s custom X509TrustManager used in checkServerTrusted only checks the certificate’s expiration date, effectively bypassing the proper TLS chain validation. This oversight means that malicious actors could potentially exploit the system by providing a valid but untrusted certificate, therefore gaining unauthorized access.
This issue affects all users of AVTECH EagleEyes 2.0.0, a popular software suite used to manage and monitor security camera systems. Given the sensitivity and importance of the data that these systems handle, the vulnerability holds significant security implications for individuals, businesses, and institutions that rely on the software.

How the Exploit Works
The CVE-2025-50944 exploit takes advantage of the oversight in the checkServerTrusted method of the AVTECH EagleEyes software. This method only checks the expiration date of a TLS certificate and not its validity in the trust chain. An attacker could potentially present a valid but untrusted certificate to gain unauthorized access to the system or data.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. In this example, the attacker uses a valid but untrusted certificate to establish a TLS connection with the server:
POST /avtech/eagleeyes HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
Certificate: { "valid": true, "trusted": false }
{ "malicious_payload": "..." }In this scenario, the server only checks the `valid` field in the certificate and accepts the connection, allowing the attacker to send a malicious payload.
