The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-62497 is a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) issue in Sony Corporation's SNC-CX600W network cameras, affecting all versions prior to 2.8.0. CSRF vulnerabilities allow attackers to induce users who are authenticated on a device to perform unintended actions by tricking them into visiting a malicious webpage. In this case, if a user is logged into the camera's web interface and accesses a specially crafted webpage, the attacker can cause the camera to execute unauthorized operations, potentially altering configurations or triggering functions without the user's knowledge. The CVSS v3.0 base score is 3.1, indicating low severity, primarily because exploitation requires the user to be logged in and to interact with a malicious webpage (user interaction required), and the attack complexity is high. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or availability but may affect the integrity of device settings. No public exploits or active exploitation have been reported to date. The vulnerability was published on November 25, 2025, and affects only versions prior to 2.8.0, which presumably includes older firmware versions still in use in some deployments. The lack of a patch link in the provided data suggests that users should verify firmware updates directly from Sony. Given the device type, the vulnerability is relevant to organizations relying on these cameras for security monitoring and surveillance.

For European organizations, the impact of this CSRF vulnerability is primarily on the integrity of surveillance device configurations. Unauthorized changes could disable or alter camera functions, potentially creating blind spots or misconfigurations that degrade physical security. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise confidentiality or availability, the manipulation of camera settings could facilitate further attacks or unauthorized surveillance evasion. Sectors such as critical infrastructure, transportation, government facilities, and large enterprises that deploy Sony SNC-CX600W cameras for security monitoring are at higher risk. The requirement for user interaction and authenticated sessions limits the scope of exploitation, but targeted phishing or social engineering campaigns could still succeed. Disruptions or unauthorized control of surveillance devices could have operational and reputational consequences, especially in regulated environments with strict security compliance requirements.

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately verify and update all affected Sony SNC-CX600W cameras to firmware version 2.8.0 or later, which addresses the CSRF issue. If immediate updates are not feasible, network segmentation should be enforced to isolate camera management interfaces from general user networks, reducing exposure to malicious webpages. Implement strict access controls and multi-factor authentication for camera web interfaces to minimize the risk of unauthorized access. Educate users about the risks of phishing and visiting untrusted websites while logged into sensitive devices. Additionally, monitor network traffic and device logs for unusual configuration changes or access patterns. Where possible, disable web interface access from external networks or restrict it via VPNs. Regularly review and audit device firmware versions and security settings as part of vulnerability management programs.
