Attack Vector: Adjacent
Attack Complexity: Low

User Interaction: None
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None
Vulnerable system integrity: None
Vulnerable system availability: None
Subsequent system confidentiality: None
Subsequent system integrity: Low
Subsequent system availability: Low

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

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable system is bound to a protocol stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared proximity (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC, or IEEE 802.11) or logical network (e.g., local IP subnet), or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN within an administrative network zone).
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: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within 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: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Subsequent System.
Subsequent system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Subsequent System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Subsequent System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

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 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.

What to do

Upgrade AXIS Camera Station Pro to 6.9.

AI-suggested

Given the absence of an official patch at this time, European organizations should implement several targeted mitigations: 1) Network Segmentation: Isolate AXIS Camera Station Pro servers on dedicated VLANs or subnets with strict access controls, limiting adjacent network exposure only to trusted management hosts. 2) Access Control Lists (ACLs): Deploy ACLs on network devices to restrict which IP addresses and devices can communicate with the camera station server, minimizing the attack surface. 3) VPN or Encrypted Tunnels: Require all remote or local administrative access to the camera station to occur over secure VPNs or encrypted channels to prevent exploitation of alternate paths. 4) Monitoring and Logging: Enable detailed logging on the AXIS Camera Station Pro and network devices to detect unusual access patterns or authentication bypass attempts. 5) Firmware and Software Updates: Monitor Axis Communications advisories closely and apply updates promptly once patches addressing CVE-2025-30026 become available. 6) Physical Security: Ensure physical security of network infrastructure to prevent attackers from gaining adjacent network access. 7) Incident Response Preparedness: Prepare response plans for potential unauthorized access incidents involving surveillance systems to minimize impact and recovery time.

Description

The AXIS Camera Station Server had a flaw that allowed to bypass authentication that is normally required.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to physical security infrastructure. AXIS Camera Station Pro is widely used in sectors such as government facilities, transportation hubs, critical infrastructure, and corporate environments across Europe. An attacker exploiting this flaw could gain unauthorized access to live video streams or recorded footage, potentially compromising sensitive information or enabling further attacks by monitoring security personnel movements and responses. The authentication bypass could also allow attackers to manipulate camera configurations or disable cameras, impacting availability of surveillance and undermining security operations. Privacy regulations such as GDPR heighten the impact, as unauthorized access to video data could lead to regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Organizations relying on AXIS Camera Station Pro for perimeter security, public safety, or facility monitoring must consider this vulnerability a serious concern, especially in environments with adjacent network access to the camera management system.
