CVE-2022-38355
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDaikin SVMPC1 version 2.1.22 and prior and SVMPC2 version 1.2.3 and prior are vulnerable to attackers with access to the local area network (LAN) to disclose sensitive information stored by the affected product without requiring authentication.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceDaikin SVMPC1 (versions 2.1.22 and prior) and SVMPC2 (versions 1.2.3 and prior) contain an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability. Attackers with access to the local area network can retrieve sensitive information stored by these HVAC controller products without any authentication credentials.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Daikin HVAC controller on the networkScan your network for devices with the product name 'SVMPC1' or 'SVMPC2', or look for Daikin HVAC controllers using network discovery tools (nmap, network scans). Check device inventory or documentation for Daikin SVMPC1/SVMPC2 controllers.Affected if A Daikin SVMPC1 or SVMPC2 controller exists on your network
-
Determine the SVMPC1 firmware versionAccess the device web interface or check the device management console for the firmware version. The version is typically displayed in the device settings, about page, or system information section.Affected if The firmware version is 2.1.22 or lower
-
Determine the SVMPC2 firmware versionAccess the device web interface or check the device management console for the firmware version. The version is typically displayed in the device settings, about page, or system information section.Affected if The firmware version is 1.2.3 or lower
-
Verify network accessibility without authenticationAttempt to access sensitive endpoints on the device (such as configuration or data retrieval endpoints) from an untrusted network segment without providing any credentials. Use a tool like curl or a browser to send HTTP requests to common device ports.Affected if The device responds to requests from untrusted network segments without requiring authentication
You are affected if you have a Daikin SVMPC1 (firmware <= 2.1.22) or SVMPC2 (firmware <= 1.2.3) controller accessible on your network without proper network segmentation or authentication controls.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedRestrict network access to the affected devices using network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure to trusted personnel only. Apply vendor patches when available to implement proper authentication for sensitive data access.
Latest available version from Daikin (newer than 2.1.22 for SVMPC1, newer than 1.2.3 for SVMPC2)
- 1. Identify the specific Daikin SVMPC1 or SVMPC2 device model and current firmware version
- 2. Contact Daikin technical support or check their official firmware download page for available updates
- 3. Download the latest firmware version from Daikin's official source
- 4. Follow Daikin's documented firmware update procedure for your specific device model
- 5. After updating, verify the device is no longer exposing sensitive information without authentication
