Attack Vector: Adjacent
Attack Complexity: Low

Subsequent system integrity: None
Subsequent system availability: None

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: High: There is a total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the Vulnerable System; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).
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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Oct 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 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

Network Segmentation: Isolate IP cameras on a dedicated VLAN or subnet with strict access controls to limit local network exposure.
Access Control: Restrict access to the camera management interface to authorized personnel and trusted devices only, using network ACLs or firewall rules.
Monitoring and Detection: Implement network monitoring to detect unusual or malformed requests targeting the /cgi-bin/action endpoint.
Physical Security: Ensure physical access to devices is controlled to prevent manual tampering or unauthorized restarts.
Incident Response: Develop procedures for rapid identification and manual restart of affected devices to minimize downtime.
Vendor Engagement: Continuously monitor for vendor updates or patches and apply them promptly once available.
Alternative Solutions: Consider replacing vulnerable devices with models from vendors that provide timely security updates and support.
Firmware Auditing: If possible, audit other versions of the firmware to assess vulnerability presence and prioritize upgrades or replacements accordingly.

Description

Vilar VS-IPC1002 IP cameras are vulnerable to DoS (Denial-of-Service) attacks. An unauthenticated attacker on the same local network might send a crafted request to /cgi-bin/action endpoint and render the device completely unresponsive. A manual restart of the device is required. The vendor did not respond in any way. Only version 1.1.0.18 was tested, other versions might be vulnerable as well.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially in sectors relying on continuous video surveillance such as critical infrastructure, transportation, public safety, and corporate security. A successful DoS attack renders the affected IP cameras inoperative until manually restarted, creating blind spots in surveillance coverage. This can lead to missed detection of security incidents, unauthorized access, or delayed response to physical threats. The lack of vendor response and patches increases the risk exposure duration. Additionally, organizations with large deployments of these cameras may face operational challenges in identifying and restarting affected devices promptly. The requirement for local network access limits remote exploitation but does not eliminate risk from insider threats or lateral movement by attackers who have breached internal networks. The disruption could also affect compliance with regulatory requirements for physical security and monitoring.
