Kiloview E3 NDI Encoder firmware: OS command injection via hostname parameter
Summary
The system control service of the Kiloview E3 NDI encoder firmware does not sanitize the hostname parameter of its device naming endpoint and passes it unquoted into a shell command. An authenticated web user with access to this function can inject characters to run arbitrary operating system commands as root, leading to full compromise of the device. CISA rates the vulnerability as critical (CVSS v4.0 9.4); exploitation requires valid web access to the device.
Affected
- Kiloview E3 NDI Encoder, firmware versions below 1.30 (per CISA ICSA-26-295-01)
Fixed in
- Firmware version 1.30 (vendor-recommended update; the exact code fix is not explicitly confirmed by the vendor release notes)
Workaround
- No vendor workaround specific to this CVE is known.
- Restrict access to the web management interface to a segregated management network and named admin hosts.
- Do not expose the device or its web interface to the internet.
Exploitation
- CISA reports no known public exploitation at the time of publication (secondary coverage; to be verified against the CISA advisory).
- CISA SSVC: exploitation none, automatable no, technical impact total.
- No public proof of concept found.
Our recommendation
- Inventory all Kiloview E3 units and their firmware versions.
- Test firmware 1.30 on a non-live unit, then update all units below 1.30.
- Verify that no E3 web interface or ONVIF port is reachable from the internet; check port forwards on routers and firewalls.
- Change all local passwords and review user accounts on the device.
- Monitor for unexpected processes, outbound connections and unusual device-naming requests in web UI logs.
- Note that CVE-2026-110825 in the same advisory involves unauthenticated ONVIF configuration changes; patch the device for all related CVEs at once.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.

Original description (NVD)
The system control service on affected Kiloview E3 NDI encoder firmware fails to sanitize the hostname parameter accepted by its device naming endpoint, passing it unquoted into a shell command. An authenticated web user with access to this function can embed characters to execute arbitrary operating system commands as root, resulting in full device compromise.
