CVE-2023-24506
📋 TL;DR
Milesight NCR/camera version 71.8.0.6-r5 exposes credentials through an unspecified request, allowing attackers to obtain authentication information. This affects users of the specified Milesight camera firmware version. The vulnerability enables unauthorized access to camera systems.
💻 Affected Systems
- Milesight NCR/camera
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers gain full administrative access to camera systems, potentially compromising video feeds, modifying configurations, or using the device as an entry point into the network.
Likely Case
Attackers obtain valid credentials and access camera management interfaces to view video feeds or modify settings.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and access controls, impact is limited to the camera device itself without lateral movement.
🎯 Exploit Status
The vulnerability involves an unspecified request that exposes credentials, suggesting relatively simple exploitation once the request method is discovered.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

allPlace cameras on isolated network segments with strict firewall rules
Access Control Restrictions
allImplement strict IP-based access controls to camera management interfaces
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Remove cameras from internet-facing networks immediately
- Implement network segmentation with strict firewall rules between camera network and other systems
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check firmware version via camera web interface or SSH if available. Compare against affected version 71.8.0.6-r5.Check Version:
Check via web interface at http://[camera-ip]/ or SSH if enabled: cat /etc/versionVerify Fix Applied:
Verify firmware version has been updated to a version later than 71.8.0.6-r5. Test credential exposure by attempting to access the unspecified endpoint.📡 Detection & Monitoring
