CVE-2026-0853

5.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

Certain A-Plus Video Technologies NVR models expose sensitive device status information through an unauthenticated debug page. This allows remote attackers to gather reconnaissance data about the system without authentication. Organizations using affected NVR models are vulnerable.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • A-Plus Video Technologies NVR models
Versions: Specific versions not detailed in references
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux-based NVR firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Vulnerability appears to affect default configurations of certain NVR models. Exact model numbers not specified in provided references.

⚠️ 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.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers obtain detailed device status information that could facilitate further attacks, including identifying software versions, network configurations, and system state for targeted exploitation.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthenticated attackers access device debug information, potentially revealing system details that aid in reconnaissance for subsequent attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and access controls, exposure is limited to internal networks only, reducing external attack surface.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires only HTTP access to the debug page endpoint without authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified

Vendor Advisory: Not provided in references

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch instructions available. Check vendor website for firmware updates.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Access Control

all

Restrict network access to NVR management interfaces using firewall rules

Disable Debug Interface

all

If available in configuration, disable debug page functionality

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate NVR devices on separate VLAN with strict access controls
  • Implement network monitoring for unauthorized access attempts to NVR management interfaces

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Attempt to access debug page endpoints on NVR web interface without authentication

Check Version:

Check firmware version in NVR web interface or device settings

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify debug page is no longer accessible without authentication

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unauthenticated access to debug page endpoints in web server logs

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to debug-related URLs from unauthorized IP addresses

SIEM Query:

source="NVR_web_logs" AND (url="*debug*" OR url="*status*") AND auth_status="failed"
