Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

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.

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.

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.

Summary

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.
