CVE-2025-64310

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows attackers to brute-force administrative passwords on EPSON projector web interfaces due to lack of rate limiting. Attackers can gain administrative access to projector management interfaces. All users of affected EPSON projector products with web interfaces enabled are vulnerable.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • EPSON WebConfig
  • Epson Web Control for SEIKO EPSON Projector Products
Versions: All versions prior to fixes
Operating Systems: Embedded systems on EPSON projectors
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects EPSON projectors with web management interfaces enabled. Specific models should be verified against vendor advisories.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full administrative compromise of projector systems allowing configuration changes, firmware manipulation, or use as network pivot points.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized administrative access to projector management interfaces leading to configuration changes, service disruption, or credential harvesting.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if strong passwords are used and network access is restricted, though risk remains due to lack of rate limiting.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Directly exposed web interfaces can be brute-forced from anywhere on the internet.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers or compromised internal systems can exploit this vulnerability.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Brute-force attacks are well-understood and tools are widely available. No authentication required to attempt password guessing.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisories for specific firmware versions

Vendor Advisory: https://www.epson.co.uk/en_GB/faq/KA-02041/contents?loc=en-us

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check EPSON advisory for affected models. 2. Download latest firmware from EPSON support site. 3. Apply firmware update following vendor instructions. 4. Verify update completed successfully.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network segmentation

all

Restrict network access to projector management interfaces

Strong password enforcement

all

Use complex, unique passwords for administrative accounts

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Disable web management interfaces if not required
  • Implement network-level rate limiting or WAF rules to block excessive authentication attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if EPSON projector web interface allows unlimited password attempts without lockout or delay

Check Version:

Check firmware version in projector web interface or physical display

Verify Fix Applied:

Test authentication interface for rate limiting after applying firmware update

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed authentication attempts from single source
  • Successful authentication after many failures

Network Indicators:

  • High volume of HTTP POST requests to login endpoints
  • Pattern of sequential password attempts

SIEM Query:

source_ip="*" AND (url_path="/login" OR url_path="/auth") AND status_code=401 COUNT > 10 PER 1min
