Unknown · Eyesofnetwork · CVE-2020-8657
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
EyesOfNetwork version 5.3
**Description**
The issue is related to the use of a hardcoded API key, `EONAPI KEY`, in the `include/api functions.php` file for API version 2.4.2. This allows an attacker to calculate or guess the admin access token, potentially leading to unauthorized access to protected information and privilege escalation.
**Recommendations**
For EyesOfNetwork version 5.3, consider changing the default API key `EONAPI KEY` to a unique value to prevent unauthorized access. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the API endpoint that uses the hardcoded `EONAPI KEY` until a patch is available.
