CVE-2025-41017 is an access control vulnerability classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) affecting Davantis DFUSION, a security camera management platform. The flaw exists in versions prior to 6.186.1, where the system fails to enforce proper authorization checks on the API endpoint /cameras/<CAMERA_ID>/perspective. This endpoint returns perspective parameters, which include camera orientation, field of view, and other configuration details critical for camera operation and security posture. Because the vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve these parameters without any credentials or user interaction, it exposes sensitive information that could be leveraged for further attacks, such as physical intrusion planning or bypassing surveillance. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low complexity, and no privileges or user interaction required. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability directly but compromises confidentiality by leaking sensitive camera configuration data. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the lack of authorization checks makes it a straightforward target for reconnaissance by malicious actors. The issue was reserved in April 2025 and published in November 2025, with no official patch links provided in the data, indicating that organizations should monitor vendor advisories closely for updates.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive security camera configurations, undermining physical security measures. Attackers gaining knowledge of camera perspectives can identify blind spots, adjust attack strategies, or plan intrusions more effectively. Critical infrastructure sectors such as transportation, energy, government facilities, and large enterprises relying on Davantis DFUSION for surveillance are particularly vulnerable. The exposure of camera parameters may also facilitate privacy violations and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal data or surveillance details are indirectly compromised. Although the vulnerability does not allow direct control or disruption of cameras, the confidentiality breach can cascade into broader security risks. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate but tangible risk that requires timely remediation to prevent exploitation.

Organizations should immediately upgrade Davantis DFUSION to version 6.186.1 or later once available, as this version addresses the missing authorization issue. Until patches are applied, restrict network access to the camera management interfaces using firewalls or VPNs to limit exposure to trusted personnel only. Implement strict access control policies and monitor API endpoint usage for unusual or unauthorized requests targeting /cameras/<CAMERA_ID>/perspective. Conduct regular audits of camera configurations and logs to detect potential reconnaissance activities. Additionally, segment the network to isolate surveillance systems from general IT infrastructure, reducing the attack surface. Engage with Davantis support for any interim mitigations or workarounds and stay updated on vendor advisories. Incorporate this vulnerability into incident response plans to quickly address any exploitation attempts.
