AVTECH EagleEyes 2.0.0 Domain Validation Bypass Vulnerability.

CVE advisorySeverity: CRITICAL (CVSS 9.8)

CVE-2025-46408

This vulnerability affects a specific mobile application (AVTECH EagleEyes 2.0.0 for Android). Mobile apps are client-side software installed on user devices, not internet-facing infrastructure, services, or servers. Consequently, the vulnerable component is not a public-facing network service or appliance.

Horizon Alert

Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters

An issue has been identified in the AVTECH EagleEyes mobile application that could allow unauthorized access to connected systems by bypassing domain validation checks. This vulnerability affects the application's ability to securely verify the identity of servers it communicates with. The main concern is confirming whether this specific application is in use within the organization and if it is exposed to potential risks.

Bypasses server identity checks.
Potentially impacts mobile application security.
Confirm relevance and exposure of the app.

Attack Path

How an attacker could exploit the issue

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to a vulnerable application over the network. The application, specifically the GetHttpsResponse and getNewHttpClient methods within the AvtechLib and Push_HttpService components, fails to validate hostnames correctly. This bypass of domain validation allows an attacker to intercept or manipulate communication, potentially leading to severe consequences.

Accessible over the network without authentication.
Bypasses domain validation in HTTPS requests.
Leads to sensitive data compromise and manipulation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AVTECH EagleEyes (lite) software?

AVTECH EagleEyes is a mobile application designed for Android devices, primarily used to interface with AVTECH surveillance and monitoring systems. It allows users to remotely access video streams and manage connected hardware, acting as a client-side tool for interacting with the AVTECH ecosystem.

What does CVE-2025-46408 mean?

This vulnerability is classified as CWE-297, which relates to improper validation of certificate hostnames. In plain terms, the application fails to verify that the server it is connecting to matches the expected identity. This allows an attacker to impersonate a legitimate server during an HTTPS connection.

How can an attacker trigger this vulnerability?

An attacker can trigger this by intercepting the network communication between the app and its backend. It is important to note that simply using the app does not trigger the bug; the attacker must be positioned to manipulate the network traffic flow to exploit the weak hostname verification methods in the application's library.

Is my organization at risk from this vulnerability?

According to Halo Surface Signal, risk is very unlikely because this is a mobile client application, not an internet-facing server or infrastructure component. Because it runs on end-user devices rather than as a public network service, the potential for widespread automated exploitation across your infrastructure is minimal.

What steps should I take if we use this application?

First, identify if AVTECH EagleEyes 2.0.0 is installed on any devices within your environment. Determine if these instances are critical to business operations. Once identified, consult with the application owners to assess the risk and await further guidance or updates from the vendor to resolve the validation bypass.
