Description
Brandon Rothel from QED Secure Solutions and Sam Hanson of Dragos have found that the VAPIX API tcptest.cgi did not have a sufficient input validation allowing for a possible remote code execution. This flaw can only be exploited after authenticating with an operator- or administrator-privileged service account. The impact of exploiting this vulnerability is lower with operator-privileges compared to administrator-privileges service accounts. Please refer to the Axis security advisory for more information and solution.
Exploitation
Not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue as of 2026.09.04. That is an absence of confirmed public exploitation, not evidence that exploitation has not occurred. EPSS models a 0.6% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
