What to do
Solution: BrightSign fixed CVE-2025-54756 in v8.5.53.1 (for series 4 players) and v9.0.166 (for series 5 players). Both of these have been released and are available on the BrightSign download site. https://www.brightsign.biz/contact-us/
Workaround: BrightSign recommends the following security practices: * Change default passwords when the device is initially set up. * Disable the local DWS as described in "High Security settings". * Disable the SSH/telnet server when not being used - it is not enabled by default. * Devices should be located where an attacker does not have physical access to the device. * SD and USB ports can be disabled if not needed.
