CVE-2025-1738

6.2 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

The Trivision Camera NC227WF v5.8.0 transmits passwords in URL query strings, exposing authentication credentials to network eavesdroppers and intermediaries. This affects all users of this specific camera model and firmware version who rely on its web interface for configuration.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Trivision Camera NC227WF
Versions: v5.8.0
Operating Systems: Embedded camera firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the web management interface. Other firmware versions may also be vulnerable but only v5.8.0 is confirmed.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers intercept camera credentials, gain administrative access, disable security features, manipulate footage, pivot to internal networks, or install persistent malware on the camera system.

🟠

Likely Case

Credentials are captured by attackers on the same network segment, leading to unauthorized camera access, privacy violations, and potential surveillance disruption.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and monitoring, impact is limited to camera compromise without lateral movement to other systems.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - If cameras are exposed to the internet, credentials are transmitted in cleartext URLs visible to ISPs, proxies, and anyone monitoring network traffic.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Even internally, credentials are exposed to anyone with network access or monitoring capabilities on the same segment.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires network access to intercept HTTP traffic. No authentication bypass needed if credentials are captured during legitimate login.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-trivision-camera-nc227wf

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check vendor website for firmware updates. 2. Download latest firmware. 3. Access camera web interface. 4. Navigate to firmware update section. 5. Upload new firmware file. 6. Wait for reboot and verify version.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate cameras on separate VLAN with strict firewall rules preventing internet access and limiting internal communication.

HTTPS Enforcement

linux

Configure reverse proxy to force HTTPS and strip query parameters before reaching camera.

# nginx example: rewrite ^/camera/(.*)$ /$1? break;

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Deploy cameras behind VPN for remote access instead of direct web interface exposure
  • Implement network monitoring to detect credential transmission in URLs and alert on suspicious access

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Use network sniffer (Wireshark) during camera login and check if password appears in URL query parameters of HTTP requests.

Check Version:

Access camera web interface > System Information > Firmware Version

Verify Fix Applied:

After update, repeat network capture to confirm passwords are no longer transmitted in URLs and are using POST method with encryption.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Repeated failed login attempts from new IPs
  • Configuration changes from unfamiliar IP addresses

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP GET requests containing 'password=' in query string to camera IP
  • Unusual outbound connections from camera

SIEM Query:

http.url:*password=* AND dst_ip:[CAMERA_IP]
