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
Hikvision CSMP (Comprehensive Security Management Platform) iSecure Center through 2024-08-01 allows execution of a command within $( ) in /center/api/installation/detection JSON data, as exploited in the wild in 2024 and 2025.

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

Hikvision iSecure Center contains a command injection vulnerability in the /center/api/installation/detection endpoint. Attackers can execute arbitrary commands by embedding shell commands within $( ) syntax in JSON data sent to this endpoint. The vulnerability has been actively exploited in the wild during 2024-2025.

MitigationApply vendor-provided patches for iSecure Center; if no patch is available, restrict network access to the /center/api/installation/detection endpoint and implement input validation to sanitize $( ) command substitution syntax from user-supplied JSON data.

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. Confirm Hikvision iSecure Center installation
    Check for iSecure Center application files, services, or web interface. Look for processes named 'iSecureCenter' or access the web portal on common ports (80, 443, 8080).
    Affected if Hikvision iSecure Center software is present on the system
  2. Verify the vulnerable endpoint is exposed
    Attempt to access or probe the URL path /center/api/installation/detection via HTTP/HTTPS. Use a tool like curl: curl -k https://<target>/center/api/installation/detection
    Affected if The endpoint responds with any HTTP status (even 404 or 403 indicates the endpoint exists) and is network-accessible
  3. Check installed version against available patches
    Locate the iSecure Center version information - typically found in the web interface footer, an 'About' page, or in installation logs. Common paths: C:\Program Files\Hikvision\iSecure Center\ or /opt/hikvision/isc/
    Affected if The installed version is older than the patched version released by Hikvision for this CVE (compare against vendor release notes)
  4. Inspect network access controls
    Review firewall rules, WAF configurations, or network segmentation that may restrict access to the /center/api/installation/detection endpoint. Check if the endpoint is exposed to untrusted networks.
    Affected if The endpoint is accessible from untrusted networks without authentication or IP restrictions
  5. Review application logs for exploitation indicators
    Search application and web server logs for requests to /center/api/installation/detection containing suspicious patterns like $(, $(:, `, or other command substitution syntax.
    Affected if Logs show requests with $( ) syntax or similar command injection patterns to this endpoint

The environment is affected if Hikvision iSecure Center is installed, the /center/api/installation/detection endpoint is accessible, and the installed version predates the vendor patch release date.
