CVE-2026-79395: n/a
An improper authentication vulnerability in the WS-Security (wsse:UsernameToken) verification routine within the Sofia IPC daemon in Xiongmai IP Camera XM530 firmware HMT.CM2005-v220608.1837 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute privileged ONVIF actions (including PTZ control, stream URL retrieval, and system reboot) via a crafted SOAP request supplying the admin username with any arbitrary password when the account's stored password is empty.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-79395 describes an authentication bypass vulnerability in the WS-Security (wsse:UsernameToken) verification routine within the Sofia IPC daemon of Xiongmai IP Camera XM530 firmware HMT.CM2005-v220608.1837 and earlier. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and perform privileged ONVIF actions such as PTZ control, stream URL retrieval, and system reboot by submitting a crafted SOAP request that uses the admin username with an arbitrary password when the admin account's stored password is empty.
Potential Impact
Remote attackers can bypass authentication controls and execute privileged ONVIF commands on affected devices. This includes controlling pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functions, retrieving stream URLs, and rebooting the system, potentially leading to unauthorized device control and disruption of service.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict network access to the affected devices and monitor for suspicious SOAP requests targeting ONVIF services. Avoid using empty passwords for administrative accounts.
