CVE-2019-5997Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via undisclosed vectors

Published May 20, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Code injection in Panasonic Video Insight VMS before 7.6.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. Panasonic and JVN have not published the vulnerable component, input path, or incorrect operation performed on attacker-controlled data. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation runs arbitrary code on the VMS server.
