7.5

Shenzhen Smarteye Digital Electronics Co., Ltd. · iSmartViewPro

iSmartViewPro version 1.3.34 is susceptible to a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows an attacker to trigger an application crash via oversized input in the camera DID and password fields.

Executive summary

A buffer overflow vulnerability in iSmartViewPro 1.3.34 allows local attackers to cause a denial of service by crashing the application on iOS devices.

Vulnerability

This is a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) occurring because the application fails to perform adequate size checks on input provided to the camera DID and password fields. The vulnerability is triggered by an unauthenticated user with local access to the application interface.

Business impact

The successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in a denial of service, rendering the camera management application unusable for the affected user. While the CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity, the impact is localized to the specific mobile device running the application. This could cause operational disruption for users relying on the software for live video monitoring or security surveillance.

Remediation

Immediate Action: There is no vendor-provided patch for this legacy issue; users should discontinue use of the application or restrict access to the device to prevent unauthorized input.

Proactive Monitoring: Security teams should monitor for unusual application behavior or frequent crashes on mobile devices used for security operations.

Compensating Controls: Ensure that mobile devices are protected by strong passcodes or biometric locks to prevent unauthorized individuals from physically accessing the application interface.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: Yes, a proof-of-concept exists as documented in the Exploit Database (EDB-ID 47662).

Analyst recommendation

Given the lack of a vendor patch and the presence of a publicly available proof-of-concept, this vulnerability poses a persistent risk to availability. Organizations utilizing iSmartViewPro should evaluate if the continued use of this software is appropriate for their security requirements, or transition to a supported alternative that receives regular security updates.
