CVE-2026-123997Hisense VIDAA allocation without limits
CVE-2026-123997 is a allocation without limits in Hisense VIDAA, rated high (7.1 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Resources are allocated without a cap, so a caller can exhaust them.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it from the same local network segment, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker exhaust CPU, memory or connections until the service stops answering.
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.
Description from NVD
Hisense VIDAA Smart TV firmware V0000.01.00a.P0220 contains an unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerability in the UPnP/DLNA AVTransport SOAP service that allows LAN-adjacent attackers to freeze the entire television software layer by sending a crafted SetAVTransportURI request on TCP port 38400. Attackers can exploit this flaw without credentials to render the device completely unresponsive to remote control or front-panel input, requiring a physical power cycle to restore functionality.
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
- Public entry points and shared services that must stay up. The flaw sits between untrusted traffic and shared capacity.
Trust boundaries in play
- Local network segment. The attacker must share a network segment with the target.
- Between untrusted traffic and shared capacity. An attacker who crosses it can exhaust CPU, memory or connections until the service stops answering.
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?
