Man-in-the-middle data exposure via disabled certificate checks
Published Jul 1, 2025 · Updated Apr 7, 2026
Improper certificate validation in AVTECH surveillance devices allows man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept cloud-sync HTTPS traffic. SyncCloudAccount.sh, QueryFromClient.sh, and SyncPermit.sh invoke wget with --no-check-certificate, causing the client to accept untrusted server certificates. An attacker must control the network path when a device contacts an HTTPS service; captured or modified cloud-sync data is the bounded consequence.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
