Published: Thu Oct 16 2025 (10/16/2025, 19:02:05 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Apeman
Product: ID71

Description

A vulnerability was found in Apeman ID71 218.53.203.117. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /onvif/device_service of the component ONVIF Service. Performing manipulation results in missing authentication. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-11852 identifies a missing authentication vulnerability in the Apeman ID71 device, specifically within the ONVIF Service component accessible via the /onvif/device_service endpoint. The vulnerability arises because an unknown function in this service does not enforce any authentication, allowing remote attackers to interact with the device without credentials. This lack of authentication means that attackers can potentially access sensitive device functions or configuration remotely, leading to unauthorized control or data exposure. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without any user interaction or privileges, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 reflects a medium severity, driven by the ease of remote exploitation and the impact on confidentiality and integrity, though availability impact is low. The vendor has not issued any patches or responses, and while an exploit is publicly available, no confirmed active exploitation has been reported. The affected version is identified as 218.53.203.117, which likely corresponds to a firmware or software build of the Apeman ID71 device. The ONVIF protocol is widely used in IP cameras and surveillance devices, making this vulnerability particularly relevant for organizations relying on these devices for security monitoring. The absence of authentication could allow attackers to manipulate device settings, access video streams, or pivot into internal networks if proper segmentation is not enforced.

Potential Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to those deploying Apeman ID71 devices in security and surveillance roles. Unauthorized access could lead to exposure of sensitive video feeds, manipulation of device configurations, or use of the compromised device as a foothold for further network intrusion. This could impact confidentiality by leaking surveillance data, integrity by altering device settings or firmware, and potentially availability if attackers disrupt device operations. Critical infrastructure facilities, government buildings, and enterprises relying on these devices for physical security are at heightened risk. The lack of vendor response and patch availability increases the window of exposure. Given the remote exploitability without authentication or user interaction, attackers can target these devices over the internet or internal networks, especially if devices are improperly exposed or lack network segmentation. This could undermine trust in physical security systems and lead to regulatory compliance issues under GDPR if personal data is compromised.

Mitigation Recommendations

Since no patches or vendor fixes are currently available, European organizations should implement compensating controls. First, immediately isolate Apeman ID71 devices on dedicated network segments with strict access controls to limit exposure. Disable the ONVIF service if it is not required for device operation or management. Employ network-level firewalls or access control lists to restrict access to the /onvif/device_service endpoint to trusted management hosts only. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity targeting the device, especially requests to the ONVIF service. Consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems with signatures for known exploits targeting this vulnerability. Regularly audit device firmware versions and configurations to detect unauthorized changes. If possible, replace vulnerable devices with alternatives from vendors with active security support. Finally, maintain incident response readiness to quickly address any signs of compromise related to these devices.
