Description
Hisense VIDAA Smart TV firmware V0000.01.00a.P0220 contains an unauthenticated access vulnerability where a QA build of the Google Cobalt browser engine exposes the WebDriver automation server on TCP port 4444 across all network interfaces without any authentication or pairing requirement. A LAN-adjacent attacker can connect to the exposed WebDriver service to execute arbitrary JavaScript, read and exfiltrate sensitive localStorage data including ACR telemetry, MAC addresses, ad-service credentials, and location data, inject persistent content onto the display, and access the window.hisense native bridge to perform filesystem read/write and system-state operations.

Impact

Hisense VIDAA Smart TV firmware V0000.01.00a.P0220 contains an unauthenticated WebDriver automation server listening on TCP port 4444 across all network interfaces. An attacker on the same LAN can connect to the service without credentials and execute arbitrary JavaScript, read and exfiltrate localStorage data, inject persistent content into the user interface, and use the native bridge to read or write files and perform system-state operations. This constitutes remote code execution and data exfiltration, making it possible to steal telemetry, MAC addresses, ad‑service credentials, and location data.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include Hisense VIDAA Smart TVs that ship with firmware version V0000.01.00a.P0220. The vulnerability is present in QA builds that expose the WebDriver engine, so any TV running that exact firmware revision is susceptible. Other firmware revisions not containing the exposed WebDriver are not affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates high severity and the lack of an authentication requirement increases the attack surface. EPSS is not available, but the attack vector is inferred to be local network due to the open TCP port. Because the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, no specific exploitation campaigns are currently known, yet the simplicity of the exploit suggests a high likelihood of future exploitation. An attacker that can reach the TV on the LAN can immediately achieve full control and exfiltrate sensitive data.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Hisense firmware update that removes the exposed WebDriver server or adds authentication to the service.
  • Block TCP port 4444 on the TV or on the local network firewall/router to prevent unauthenticated access from any internal device.
  • Disable or restrict the Cobalt browser engine within the TV’s settings if possible, or otherwise limit the availability of the WebDriver automation interface.
