NUUO NVRmini2 Devices Missing Authentication Vulnerability
NUUO NVRmini2 devices contain a missing authentication vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload an encrypted TAR archive, which can be abused to add arbitrary users.
The impacted product is end-of-life (EoL) and/or end-of-service (EoS). Users should discontinue utilization of the product.
Risk Analysis
A missing authentication vulnerability in NUUO NVRmini2 devices allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload an encrypted TAR archive, which can be used to add arbitrary users to the system. With a high EPSS score of 0.46986 and its inclusion in CISA's KEV, this vulnerability is actively exploited and poses a significant risk of unauthorized access.
This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and is included in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. It can be exploited remotely without authentication.
Apply the latest security updates and patches for NUUO NVRmini2 devices. Ensure that NVR devices are not exposed directly to the internet and are protected by firewalls and strong access controls.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-23227 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2022-23227 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
