CVE-2023-53983Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated system takeover via hard-coded administrator credentials

Published Dec 30, 2025 · Updated Dec 30, 2025

Authentication bypass in Ateme Anevia Flamingo XL/XS 3.2.9 and 3.6.20 allows remote attackers to gain full system control. The appliance firmware and bundled SoapLive 2.0.3 and 2.4.1 and SoapSystem 1.3.1 components accept weak, hard-coded administrative credentials during remote password authentication. Network reachability to the administrative service is sufficient; successful login grants administrative control over the head-end, including its streaming and system functions.
