CVE-2025-36513 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in surveillance cameras produced by i-PRO Co., Ltd. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trick an authenticated user of the affected surveillance camera's web interface into performing unintended actions by visiting a maliciously crafted webpage. Since the user is already logged into the device, the attacker can exploit the trust relationship between the user's browser and the device's web interface to execute unauthorized commands without the user's consent. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or availability directly but impacts the integrity of the device's configuration or operation by allowing unauthorized changes. The CVSS 3.0 base score is 4.3 (medium severity), reflecting that the attack vector is network-based, requires no privileges, but does require user interaction (visiting a malicious page). The vulnerability scope is unchanged, meaning the impact is limited to the affected device itself. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and the vendor has not yet provided specific affected versions or patches. The vulnerability highlights the importance of proper CSRF protections such as anti-CSRF tokens or same-site cookie attributes in the web management interface of these surveillance cameras.

For European organizations deploying i-PRO Co., Ltd. surveillance cameras, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized manipulation of camera settings or operations if users with access to the device's web interface are tricked into visiting malicious websites. Potential impacts include disabling security features, altering recording schedules, or changing network configurations, which could degrade physical security monitoring and incident response capabilities. Although the vulnerability does not allow direct data exfiltration or denial of service, the integrity compromise could facilitate further attacks or evade detection. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on video surveillance, such as critical infrastructure, transportation, retail, and public safety, may face increased operational risks. The requirement for user interaction somewhat limits exploitation but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments where users frequently access the device interface via web browsers.

European organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Immediately check for and apply any vendor-provided patches or firmware updates addressing this CSRF vulnerability once available. 2) Restrict access to the surveillance camera management interfaces to trusted networks and users only, ideally via VPN or secure management VLANs, to reduce exposure to malicious web content. 3) Educate users with access to these devices about the risks of visiting untrusted websites while logged into surveillance camera interfaces. 4) Employ network-level protections such as web filtering to block access to known malicious sites that could host CSRF attack pages. 5) Where possible, disable or limit web interface access and use alternative secure management protocols. 6) Monitor device logs for unusual configuration changes that could indicate exploitation attempts. 7) Advocate with the vendor for implementation of robust CSRF protections, including anti-CSRF tokens and same-site cookie attributes in future firmware releases.
