The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.47% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of IOT PC Platform you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description
A username and password are required to authenticate to the central SinoTrack device management interface. The username for all devices is an identifier printed on the receiver. The default password is well-known and common to all devices. Modification of the default password is not enforced during device setup. A malicious actor can retrieve device identifiers with either physical access or by capturing identifiers from pictures of the devices posted on publicly accessible websites such as eBay.

The underlying weakness: Weak Authentication
The product uses an authentication mechanism to restrict access to specific users or identities, but the mechanism does not sufficiently prove that the claimed identity is correct.
