TVT NVMS-1000 Directory Traversal Vulnerability

TVT · NVMS-1000

CVSS 7.5 EPSS 96% 1 public exploit Fix deadline passed 3 May 2022

What it is

TVT devices utilizing NVMS-1000 software contain a directory traversal vulnerability via GET /.. requests.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 96%
  • 1 public exploit published
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2022-05-03) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

Public exploit code

Indexed from Exploit-DB. Presence of code raises urgency; absence does not mean safety.
