Summary

The H.VIEW HV-500S6 IP Camera contains vulnerabilities in command injection (CWE-78) and file upload handling (CWE-434) that allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code and upload malicious files to the device. The vendor has not responded to CISA coordination requests, and no firmware patch is currently available. Users running firmware version IPCAM_V4.06.88.251229 are affected.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker with administrative credentials could execute arbitrary commands on the IP camera or upload malicious files, potentially allowing them to disrupt video surveillance, inject malware into the network, or establish a persistent foothold in your facility.
Who's at risk
Water authorities, utilities, and municipalities using H.VIEW HV-500S6 IP cameras for facility surveillance should be concerned. These cameras are typically deployed for monitoring critical infrastructure areas like pump stations, treatment plants, or substations. Compromise could allow attackers to disable surveillance, disrupt monitoring capabilities, or use the camera as a pivot point to access adjacent control systems.
How it could be exploited
An attacker with valid administrative credentials could exploit command injection or file upload vulnerabilities to run arbitrary code on the camera. This requires network access to the camera's web interface and valid login credentials for an administrative account.
Prerequisites
  • Network access to the H.VIEW HV-500S6 web interface (typically port 80/443)
  • Valid administrative credentials for the camera
  • Knowledge of the vulnerable endpoint or feature that accepts file uploads or command input
