CVE-2025-47417
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 · uneditedExposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Crestron Automate VX allows Functionality Misuse. When Enable Debug Images in Crestron Automate VX is active, snapshots of the captured video or portions thereof are stored locally on the system, and there is no visible indication that this is being done. This issue affects Automate VX: from 5.6.8161.21536 through 6.4.0.49.
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 confidenceThis is a sensitive information exposure vulnerability in Crestron Automate VX where the 'Enable Debug Images' feature silently stores video snapshots locally on the system without any user interface indication, potentially exposing captured video content to unauthorized access.

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 Crestron Automate VX versionCheck the installed software version through the system administration interface or program management software. Look in About or System Info sections.Affected if The installed version falls within any vulnerable version range for this product.
-
Locate the Enable Debug Images settingNavigate to the debug or diagnostic settings menu within the Crestron Automate VX interface. Look for a checkbox or toggle labeled 'Enable Debug Images' or similar.Affected if The Enable Debug Images feature is currently turned ON or enabled.
-
Inspect debug image storage locationSearch the local filesystem for recently created image or snapshot files. Check common debug output directories, temp folders, or program data folders associated with Crestron Automate VX.Affected if Video snapshot or debug image files exist in local storage directories.
-
Review file permissions on stored imagesExamine file system permissions on any discovered debug image files to determine if they are accessible to unauthorized users or processes.Affected if Debug image files have overly permissive access controls allowing unauthorized read access.
A user is affected if running a vulnerable version of Crestron Automate VX with the Enable Debug Images feature currently enabled, resulting in silent local storage of video snapshots accessible to unauthorized parties.
