NUUO NVRmini2 Devices vulnerability
NUUO NVRmini2 devices lack authentication on archive upload functionality, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload encrypted TAR files and add arbitrary users to the system.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit missing authentication controls to upload a crafted encrypted TAR archive, gaining the ability to create unauthorized user accounts and achieve administrative access to affected NVRmini2 devices.
01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreReported exploitation
1 independent public report of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2024-12-18).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.49431 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: NUUO, NVRmini2 Devices. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-306 Missing Authentication — weakness family: Authentication.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
02
Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I identify the NVRmini2 upload endpoint and craft a malicious encrypted TAR archive containing user account data.
Business
Attacker gains initial foothold without credentials, bypassing intended access controls.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I upload the archive to the vulnerable endpoint without providing authentication credentials.
Business
System processes the upload due to missing authentication validation, extracting and applying the malicious payload.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I use the newly created arbitrary user account to log in and assume administrative privileges on the NVRmini2 device.
Business
Attacker gains full control of the network video recorder, compromising surveillance infrastructure and stored recordings.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
