CVE-2023-5037
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedbadmonkey, a Security Researcher has found a flaw that allows for a authenticated command injection on the camera. An attacker could inject malicious into request packets to execute command. The manufacturer has released patch firmware for the flaw, please refer to the manufacturer's report for details and workarounds.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThis is an authenticated command injection vulnerability in camera firmware where an attacker with valid credentials can inject malicious commands into HTTP request packets, leading to arbitrary command execution on the affected device.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the camera modelAccess the camera web interface or check the device label to confirm the exact model number (e.g., Ano L6012r, Anv L6022r, etc.)Affected if The model matches one of the affected product names listed in the CVE (Ano L6012r, Ano L6022r, Anv L6012r, Ano L6082r, Ane L6012r, Anv L6082r, Ano L7082r, Ane L7012r)
-
Check the installed firmware versionLog into the camera web interface and navigate to the firmware or system information page. Alternatively, use the manufacturer's management software or SNMP to query the firmware versionAffected if The firmware version is lower than 1.41.16 (e.g., 1.40.x, 1.39.x, etc.)
-
Verify HTTP management interface is enabledCheck the camera network settings through the web interface to confirm the HTTP (or HTTPS) web server is enabled for remote managementAffected if The HTTP/HTTPS web interface is accessible and enabled on the device
-
Confirm authentication credentials existVerify that valid user accounts are configured on the camera system, as this CVE requires valid credentials for exploitationAffected if There is at least one active user account configured on the camera (even default credentials count)
You are affected if your camera model matches one of the eight affected product names and your firmware version is below 1.41.16, with the HTTP interface enabled and credentials configured.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.41.16
Apply the manufacturer's patch firmware immediately to all affected camera devices. Verify authentication mechanisms are properly secured and consider network segmentation to limit exposure.
Firmware version 1.41.16
- Locate the firmware download section on Hanwha Vision's official support website (www.hanwhavision.com)
- Download firmware version 1.41.16 or later for your specific camera model
- Review the firmware release notes for any special upgrade instructions or prerequisites
- Backup current camera configuration if possible
- Access the camera's web management interface
- Navigate to the firmware upgrade section (typically under Maintenance or System settings)
- Upload and apply the firmware version 1.41.16
- Allow the camera to complete the upgrade process and reboot
