Digiever DS-2105 Pro active exploitation wave (CVE-2023-52163)
Exploitation Wave
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
CVE-2023-52163 is being exploited at scale against Digiever DS-2105 Pro NVRs, with multiple reports linking abuse to Mirai and ShadowV2 botnet delivery. The flaw is a post-authentication command injection issue in `time_tzsetup.cgi` that can lead to remote code execution on exposed devices. Because the devices are end-of-life and remain unpatched, defenders are being pushed toward isolation, credential changes, and removal from internet exposure.
