MEDIUM 6.2EPSS 0.21%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

There is a privilege escalation vulnerability in some Hikvision DVR products. Due to the improper implementation of authentication for the serial port, an attacker with physical access could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the affected products and gaining access to an unrestricted shell environment.
