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 · unedited
Under certain circumstances exacqVision Web Services will not enforce secure web communications (HTTPS)

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 confidence

exacqVision Web Services fails to enforce HTTPS under certain conditions, allowing sensitive data to be transmitted over unencrypted HTTP connections. This could enable man-in-the-middle attacks where attackers intercept or modify data in transit.

MitigationConfigure the web server or application to enforce HTTPS redirects and implement HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) headers to ensure all communications occur over encrypted channels.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed exacqVision version
    Access the exacqVision web interface or check the application About/Help section to locate the software version number
    Affected if The installed version is 24.03 or lower (any version <= 24.03)
  2. Verify HTTP port accessibility
    Attempt to access the web service over HTTP (port 80) using a browser or curl command: http://[server-ip]
    Affected if The application responds over HTTP without redirecting to HTTPS
  3. Check for HTTPS enforcement in configuration
    Examine the exacqVision web server configuration files or admin panel for settings related to SSL/TLS enforcement and HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect rules
    Affected if HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect is not configured or is disabled
  4. Inspect response headers for HSTS
    Make a request to the HTTPS endpoint and inspect the response headers for the Strict-Transport-Security header: curl -I https://[server-ip]
    Affected if The Strict-Transport-Security header is missing from HTTPS responses

You are affected if the installed exacqVision version is 24.03 or lower AND the service accepts unencrypted HTTP connections without enforcing HTTPS redirects or HSTS.

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

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 · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 24.03
Interim mitigation

Configure the web server or application to enforce HTTPS redirects and implement HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) headers to ensure all communications occur over encrypted channels.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Exacqvision Web Service 24.03.1 or later

  1. Confirm current Exacqvision Web Service version by accessing the system admin interface or checking the installed software
  2. Download Exacqvision version 24.03.1 or later from the official Johnson Controls download portal
  3. Stop the Exacqvision Web Service before applying the update
  4. Apply the update following standard Exacqvision upgrade procedures
  5. After upgrade, verify that HTTPS enforcement is working by attempting HTTP access and confirming it redirects to HTTPS
  6. Verify the web service is accessible only via HTTPS and that insecure HTTP connections are refused
Caveat Standard upgrade considerations apply - backup configuration before upgrading, test in non-production environment first
