CVE-2026-2564 identifies a critical security vulnerability in the Intelbras VIP 3260 Z IA device, specifically version 2.840.00IB005.0.T. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified functionality related to the /OutsideCmd file, which handles password recovery processes. Due to weak implementation, attackers can remotely exploit this flaw to recover passwords, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the device. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), but has high attack complexity (AC:H). The vulnerability severely impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H, VI:H, VA:H), indicating that successful exploitation could lead to full compromise of the device and its functions. Although exploitation is difficult and no public exploits are currently known, the critical CVSS score (9.2) reflects the serious nature of the flaw. Intelbras VIP 3260 Z IA is a security device commonly used in surveillance and access control systems, making this vulnerability particularly concerning for environments relying on these devices for physical security. The lack of available patches necessitates immediate attention to network segmentation and access control to mitigate risk until a fix is released.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant threat to physical security infrastructure that depends on Intelbras VIP 3260 Z IA devices. Unauthorized password recovery could allow attackers to bypass authentication, manipulate device configurations, or disable security monitoring, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized facility access, or disruption of security operations. Critical sectors such as government, transportation, energy, and large enterprises using these devices could face operational disruptions and increased risk of espionage or sabotage. The remote nature of the attack vector expands the threat surface, allowing attackers to exploit the vulnerability without physical presence. Given the high severity and potential for full device compromise, organizations may experience loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their security systems, impacting overall organizational security posture.

1. Immediately restrict network access to the Intelbras VIP 3260 Z IA devices, especially limiting inbound connections to trusted management networks via firewalls or VPNs. 2. Monitor network traffic for unusual access attempts to the /OutsideCmd endpoint and implement intrusion detection/prevention systems with custom signatures targeting this vulnerability. 3. Disable or restrict password recovery features if configurable, or isolate devices from internet-facing networks until a patch is available. 4. Engage with Intelbras support channels to obtain updates on patch availability and apply firmware updates promptly once released. 5. Conduct regular audits of device configurations and access logs to detect potential exploitation attempts. 6. Implement multi-factor authentication and strong password policies on all related management interfaces to reduce risk of credential compromise. 7. Consider deploying compensating controls such as network segmentation and enhanced monitoring in critical environments using these devices.
