CVE-2025-64983 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Smart Video Doorbell firmware versions prior to 2.01.078. The issue is caused by active debug code left enabled in production firmware, exposing a Telnet-accessible interface that should not be available in deployed devices. An attacker able to reach the device over the relevant network can connect via Telnet and obtain access to the doorbell. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-489 (Active Debug Code). Available source material describes the issue as enabling device compromise through the exposed debug functionality and labels it as remote code execution in the CVE title, although the provided details specifically confirm Telnet-based access to the device rather than the exact internal vulnerable function.
