How the Exploit Works
This vulnerability stems from an unauthenticated Telnet service on port 9990. An attacker can connect to this service and access a protocol preamble that leaks sensitive device and stream configuration information. This information includes the video mode, routing configuration, input/output labels, device model, and even internal identifiers such as the unique ID. This leak can provide an attacker with valuable information for reconnaissance and planning further attacks.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability using a telnet command:
telnet target_IP_address 9990After connecting, the attacker could probe the device and potentially gather sensitive data. Please note that this is a conceptual example and actual exploitation may require additional steps or methods.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. As a temporary mitigation, users could employ a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor and block suspicious traffic to the affected service on port 9990.
