CVE-2017-16566
On Jooan IP Camera A5 2.3.36 devices, an insecure FTP server does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to read or replace core system files including those used for authentication (such as passwd and shadow).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.56%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
