Multiple Pimax products, specifically Pimax Play and PiTool, have been identified with a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2024-41889) that allows WebSocket connections from unintended endpoints. The vulnerability was discovered and reported by JPCERT/CC in August 2024. The affected products include Pimax Play versions prior to V1.21.01 and all versions of PiTool. This vulnerability has been assigned a critical CVSS score of 9.8, indicating its severe impact on system security (NVD, JPCERT).
The vulnerability stems from the acceptance of WebSocket connections from unintended endpoints, classified under CWE-923 (Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints). The severity is reflected in its CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 (Critical) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction (NVD).
The exploitation of this vulnerability could allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. Given the nature of VR technology, successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to the user's VR environment, data theft, and potential network compromise (Security Online).
For Pimax Play users, it is strongly recommended to update to version V1.21.01 or later. As PiTool is no longer supported by the developer, users are advised to completely discontinue its use to mitigate the security risk (JPCERT).
