AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, mitigate risk by disabling the installation of unsigned ACAP applications on AXIS OS devices and educating users to avoid installing untrusted applications.

Description

ACAP applications can gain elevated privileges due to improper input validation during the installation process, potentially leading to privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
