CVE-2026-123996Hisense VIDAA missing authentication
CVE-2026-123996 is a missing authentication in Hisense VIDAA, rated medium (4.8 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: Medium severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
A function that should require sign-in can be called by anyone.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it from the same local network segment, without an account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.
Is it being exploited?
CISA's SSVC assessment notes a public proof of concept.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place Hisense VIDAA runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- Segment the networks that can reach it.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.
Description from NVD
Hisense VIDAA Smart TV firmware V0000.01.00a.P0220 contains a missing authentication vulnerability in the UPnP/DLNA RenderingControl service on TCP port 38400 that allows a LAN-adjacent attacker to issue SetVolume, SetMute, and SelectPreset(FactoryDefaults) commands after a one-time DLNA pairing with no per-command authentication or session token. Attackers can send a continuous loop of unauthenticated commands to override the physical remote, change volume and mute, and reset all picture and audio calibration settings.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Sign-in, session and token handling. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
- Identity providers and SSO. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
Trust boundaries in play
- Local network segment. The attacker must share a network segment with the target.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions. An attacker who crosses it can act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Hisense VIDAA run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which network segments can reach them?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
