CVE-2023-52163 Digiever DS-2105 Pro: login or permission bypass
In plain words: A door that should be locked is not: part of the system can be reached without a valid login or permission. The attacker gets in as a user or administrator without knowing a password.
Confirmed exploited by CISA on · US federal patch deadline Jan 12, 2026
What to do
- Install Digiever's security update for DS-2105 Pro. If no update exists, follow the vendor's workaround or stop using the product until one ships.
- Turn on automatic firmware updates and replace gear the maker no longer supports.
- Change default passwords and switch off remote administration and features you do not use.
- Do not put storage boxes or cameras directly on the internet — use the maker's app or a VPN.
