CVE-2025-47419
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 · uneditedCleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information vulnerability in Crestron Automate VX allows Sniffing Network Traffic. The device allows Web UI and API access over non-secure network ports which exposes sensitive information such as user passwords. 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 · high confidenceCrestron Automate VX exposes its Web UI and API over non-encrypted (HTTP) network ports, allowing attackers on the same network to intercept and capture sensitive information including user passwords through network traffic sniffing.

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.
-
Confirm Crestron Automate VX is deployedLocate the system on the network or check installed software for Crestron Automate VX. Identify its IP address or hostname.Affected if The product is present and accessible on the network
-
Identify exposed HTTP portsRun a port scan against the target system looking for HTTP ports (typically 80, 8080, 8000). Use: nmap -p 80,8080,8000 <target> or netstat/ss commands on the host.Affected if HTTP ports (80, 8080, etc.) are open and accepting connections
-
Verify Web UI accessibility over HTTPOpen a browser or use curl to access the Web UI via HTTP: http://<device-ip>/ or http://<device-ip>:<port>. Check if the login page loads without TLS encryption.Affected if The Web UI login page loads over HTTP without a security warning or redirect to HTTPS
-
Check if HTTPS is available or enabledAttempt to access the same URL over HTTPS: https://<device-ip>/. Note whether the connection succeeds, fails, or redirects.Affected if HTTPS is unavailable, fails to connect, or the HTTP site does not redirect to HTTPS
-
Inspect network traffic for unencrypted credentialsUse a packet capture tool (Wireshark, tcpdump) on the network segment while authenticating to the Web UI over HTTP. Look for POST requests containing plaintext usernames and passwords.Affected if Network traffic capture shows credentials transmitted in cleartext over HTTP
You are affected if Crestron Automate VX is accessible via HTTP and user credentials are transmitted without TLS encryption.

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.
From vendor dataEnable TLS/SSL encryption for all Web UI and API access, and restrict network access to trusted users until the vendor releases a patched version.
