ZKTeco ZKAccess Security System 5.3.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary HTML and script code by injecting malicious payloads through the 'holidayname' and 'memo' POST parameters. Attackers can submit crafted requests with script code in these parameters to compromise user browser sessions and steal sensitive information.
ZKTeco ZKBioSecurity 3.0 contains a local authorization bypass vulnerability in visLogin.jsp that allows attackers to authenticate without valid credentials by spoofing localhost requests. Attackers can exploit the EnvironmentUtil.getClientIp() method which treats IPv6 loopback address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 as 127.0.0.1 and authenticates using the IP as username with hardcoded password 123456 to access sensitive information and perform unauthorized actions.

Attackers can leverage the Modify permission granted to the Authenticated Users group to replace executable binaries with malicious code for privilege escalation.
ZKTeco ZKTime.Net 3.0.1.6 contains an insecure file permissions vulnerability that allows unprivileged users to escalate privileges by modifying executable files. Attackers can exploit world-writable permissions on the ZKTimeNet3.0 directory and its contents to replace executable files with malicious binaries for privilege escalation.
A vulnerability was detected in ZKTeco BioTime up to 9.0.3/9.0.4/9.5.2. This affects an unknown part of the file /base/safesetting/ of the component Endpoint. Performing a manipulation of the argument backupencryptionpassworddecrypt/exportencryptionpassworddecrypt results in unprotected storage of credentials. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible.

The vendor confirms: "The mainstream version ZKBioTime V9.0.6 has fixed this vulnerability. Please update to the latest version as soon as possible. For the Middle East version BioTime 9.5.X, you can contact the local technical support to obtain the fix package."
This vulnerability exists in ZKTeco WL20 due to storage of Wi-Fi credentials, configuration data and system data in plaintext within the device firmware.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to perform unauthorized decryption of sensitive data and Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks on the targeted device.
This vulnerability exists in ZKTeco WL20 due to hard-coded MQTT credentials and endpoints stored in plaintext within the device firmware. An attacker with physical access could exploit this vulnerability by extracting the firmware and analyzing the binary data to retrieve the hard-coded MQTT credentials and endpoints from the targeted device.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the MQTT broker and manipulate the communications of the targeted device.
This vulnerability exists in ZKTeco WL20 due to storage of admin and user credentials without encryption in the device firmware. An attacker with physical access could exploit this vulnerability by extracting the firmware and reverse engineer the binary data to access the unencrypted credentials stored in the firmware of targeted device.
ZKTeco BioTime allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate usernames and log in as any user with a password unchanged from the default value '123456'. Users should change their passwords (located under the Attendance Settings tab as "Self-Password").
In ZKT ZKBio CVSecurity 6.4.1R an unauthenticated attacker can craft JWT token using the hardcoded secret to authenticate to the service console. NOTE: the Supplier disputes the significance of this report because the service console is typically only accessible from a local area network, and because access to the service console does not result in login access or data access in the context of the application software platform.
A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in ZKTeco ZKBio Time 9.0.1. Affected is an unknown function of the file /authfiles/photo/ of the component Image File Handler.
