CVE-2025-8757

7.0 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability in TRENDnet TV-IP110WN IP cameras allows local attackers to bypass intended privilege restrictions through manipulation of the boa.conf configuration file. It affects users of TRENDnet TV-IP110WN cameras running firmware version 1.2.2. Attackers must have local access to the device to exploit this privilege escalation flaw.

💻 Affected Systems

  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Local attacker gains elevated privileges on the device, potentially enabling full system compromise, configuration modification, or persistence mechanisms.

🟠

Likely Case

Authorized but limited local user escalates privileges to perform unauthorized actions beyond their intended permissions.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and access controls, impact is limited to the isolated camera device only.

🌐 Internet-Facing: LOW - Requires local access to exploit, cannot be triggered remotely.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Local attackers on the network could exploit if they gain access to the device interface.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: HIGH

Exploit has been publicly disclosed but requires local access and technical knowledge. Vendor was contacted but did not respond.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider replacing with supported hardware or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate TRENDnet cameras on separate VLAN with strict access controls

Access Restriction

all

Implement firewall rules to restrict access to camera management interface

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Replace affected cameras with supported models from TRENDnet or other vendors
  • Monitor network traffic to/from cameras for unusual activity and implement strict access logging

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version via web interface at http://[camera-ip]/ or via serial console

Check Version:

Check web interface System Information page or use curl: curl -s http://[camera-ip]/cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?system_info

Verify Fix Applied:

No fix available to verify. Monitor for firmware updates from TRENDnet.
