CVE-2025-62497 is a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in Sony Corporation's SNC-CX600W network cameras, affecting all versions prior to 2.8.0. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting unauthorized requests to a web application, exploiting the user's active session. In this case, if a user is logged into the camera's web management interface and visits a specially crafted malicious webpage, the attacker can cause the camera to perform unintended operations, such as changing settings or triggering actions without the user's knowledge. The vulnerability does not allow direct access to confidential data or disrupt availability but can lead to unauthorized changes, impacting the integrity of device configurations. The CVSS v3.0 score of 3.1 reflects the low severity, considering the attack vector is network-based, requires user interaction, and has high attack complexity with no privileges required. No known exploits have been reported in the wild, indicating limited active exploitation. The vulnerability was published on November 25, 2025, and affects only versions prior to 2.8.0, which presumably contain the fix. The vulnerability's impact is constrained by the need for the user to be logged in and to visit a malicious site, limiting the attack scope. However, in environments where these cameras are used for security monitoring, unauthorized configuration changes could degrade security posture or operational reliability.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-62497 is primarily related to the integrity of surveillance systems. Unauthorized configuration changes could disable or alter camera functions, potentially creating blind spots or misconfigurations that reduce security monitoring effectiveness. This could be exploited in targeted attacks against critical infrastructure, government facilities, or corporate environments relying on these cameras for physical security. While confidentiality and availability impacts are minimal, the integrity compromise could facilitate further attacks or evade detection. The requirement for user interaction and an active session limits mass exploitation, but insider threats or social engineering could increase risk. Organizations with extensive deployments of Sony SNC-CX600W cameras, especially in sectors like transportation, public safety, and industrial control, may face operational disruptions or increased security risks if this vulnerability is exploited.

1. Immediately update all Sony SNC-CX600W cameras to firmware version 2.8.0 or later, which addresses this CSRF vulnerability. 2. Restrict access to the camera management interface by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access only to trusted management networks or VPNs. 3. Employ web browser security best practices, such as disabling automatic login persistence and using separate browsers or profiles for device management to reduce the risk of session hijacking. 4. Educate users with access to camera management interfaces about the risks of clicking on unknown or suspicious links while logged in to sensitive systems. 5. Monitor network traffic for unusual requests to camera management endpoints that could indicate attempted exploitation. 6. Consider implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for camera management interfaces if supported, to reduce risk from session hijacking or CSRF attacks. 7. Regularly audit camera configurations and logs to detect unauthorized changes promptly.
