Official description
AVideo LoginControl contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the PGP second factor verification that compares challenge responses using loose equality against an uninitialized session variable. Attackers with a victim's password can bypass the second factor by sending a parameter-less GET request to verifyChallenge.json.php, which evaluates null == null and marks authentication complete.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: no, technical impact: partial).
