CVE-2025-7622
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to make the server send requests to internal resources. This could lead to unauthorized access to internal systems or data. The vulnerability affects Axis Communications products with specific firmware versions.
💻 Affected Systems
- Axis Communications products
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attacker gains access to sensitive internal systems, extracts credentials, or performs lateral movement within the network.
Likely Case
Attacker accesses internal web services, metadata services, or configuration interfaces that shouldn't be externally accessible.
If Mitigated
Limited impact due to network segmentation, proper authentication controls, and restricted internal services.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires authenticated access. Exploitation involves crafting malicious requests to trigger internal resource access.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check Axis advisory for specific patched firmware versions
Vendor Advisory: https://www.axis.com/dam/public/c5/9a/3c/cve-2025-7622pdf-en-US-492761.pdf
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Download latest firmware from Axis website. 2. Upload firmware to affected device via web interface. 3. Apply firmware update following Axis documentation.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
allRestrict device network access to prevent reaching internal resources
Authentication Hardening
allImplement strong authentication and limit user privileges
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate affected devices
- Monitor for unusual outbound requests from affected devices
