Operationally, ranked in the top 1.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
iSpyConnect iSpy version 7.2.2.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-29775 and assigned CWE-287. The flaw permits an attacker to supply a crafted URL that circumvents normal login controls, affecting the application's authentication mechanism and carrying a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflecting network access, low attack complexity, and no required credentials or user interaction.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore reach the vulnerable endpoint and obtain full read, write, and control capabilities over the iSpy instance, resulting in complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the monitored systems and stored footage.
Public references consist of technical write-ups hosted on GitHub and Gist that document the URL manipulation technique, but no vendor advisory or patch information is included in the supplied references. The EPSS score has remained stable at 0.6389 from disclosure through the present measurement.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Detects unauthorized successful logons resulting from improper authentication implementations.
Documented procedures ensure personnel are trained on authentication mechanisms, tangibly lowering the risk of improper authentication being exploited.
Security awareness training instructs users on secure authentication practices and avoiding credential compromise.
Training on authentication mechanisms and best practices decreases the occurrence of improper authentication.
Non-repudiation requires strong authentication mechanisms to irrefutably attribute performed actions to specific individuals or processes.
Session content review can reveal authentication bypasses or failures in session establishment.
Review of authentication-related audit records can detect improper authentication mechanisms or bypasses.
Assessments check authentication mechanisms for correct implementation and effectiveness, reducing successful authentication bypass attempts.
