DUOX PLUS monitor firmware (VEO Wi-Fi range): Improper Certificate Validation
CVE-2026-86474 is a high-severity improper certificate validation vulnerability in DUOX PLUS monitor firmware (VEO Wi-Fi range) from Fermax Electronica S.A.U., with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.7 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 01.48.001 as the first without the flaw, so updating DUOX PLUS monitor firmware (VEO Wi-Fi range) to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.13% 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
- Update DUOX PLUS monitor firmware (VEO Wi-Fi range) to 01.48.001 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on fermax.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.

Official description
The lack of TLS certificate validation when downloading firmware updates in VEO and VEO-XS Wi-Fi monitors, in versions prior to 01.48.001, allows an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on the update channel.

The underlying weakness: Improper Certificate Validation
The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Certificates should be carefully managed and checked to assure that data are encrypted with the intended owner's public key.
- If certificate pinning is being used, ensure that all relevant properties of the certificate are fully validated before the certificate is pinned, including the hostname.
