An ACAP configuration file has improper permissions, which could allow command injection and potentially lead 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.

A 3rd-party component exposed its password in process arguments, allowing for low-privileged users to access it.

A malicious ACAP application can gain access to admin-level service account credentials used by legitimate ACAP applications, leading to potential privilege escalation of the malicious ACAP application. 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.

ACAP applications can gain elevated privileges due to improper input validation, 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.

The ACAP Application framework could allow privilege escalation through a symlink attack. 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.

An ACAP configuration file lacked sufficient input validation, which could allow a path traversal attack leading to potential 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.

An ACAP configuration file lacked sufficient input validation, which could allow for arbitrary code execution. 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.

An ACAP configuration file lacked sufficient input validation, which could allow for arbitrary code execution. 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.

ACAP applications can be executed with elevated privileges, 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.

During an internal security assessment, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allowed an authenticated attacker to access internal resources on the server was discovered.

The AXIS Camera Station Server had a flaw that allowed to bypass authentication that is normally required.

The communication protocol used between the server process and the service control had a flaw that could lead to a local privilege escalation.

The communication protocol used between client and server had a flaw that could be leveraged to execute a man in the middle attack.

The communication protocol used between client and server had a flaw that could lead to an authenticated user performing a remote code execution attack.

During an annual penetration test conducted on behalf of Axis Communication, Truesec discovered a flaw in the VAPIX Device Configuration framework that allowed a privilege escalation, enabling a lower-privileged user to gain administrator privileges.

A Guard Tour VAPIX API parameter allowed the use of arbitrary values and can be incorrectly called, allowing an attacker to block access to the guard tour configuration page in the web interface of the Axis device.

The VAPIX Device Configuration framework allowed a privilege escalation, enabling a lower-privileged user to gain administrator privileges.

During internal Axis Security Development Model (ASDM) threat-modelling, a flaw was found in the protection for device tampering (commonly known as Secure Boot) in AXIS OS making it vulnerable to a sophisticated attack to bypass this protection. To Axis' knowledge, there are no known exploits of the vulnerability at this time. Axis has released patched AXIS OS versions for the highlighted flaw. Please refer to the Axis security advisory for more information and solution.
