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 · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Intelbras VIP S3020 G2, VIP S4020 G2, VIP S4020 G3 and VIP S4320 G2 up to 20241222 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /web_caps/webCapsConfig of the component Web Interface. The manipulation leads to information disclosure. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor assesses that "the information disclosed in the URL is not sensitive or poses any risk to the user".

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 · moderate confidence

This vulnerability in Intelbras VIP series surveillance cameras (S3020 G2, S4020 G2, S4020 G3, S4320 G2) allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information through the /web_caps/webCapsConfig endpoint in the web interface. The issue is an information disclosure flaw in a web component that can be exploited without authentication.

MitigationRestrict network access to affected devices using firewall rules or network segmentation. Monitor for unauthorized access attempts to the web interface. Check vendor for firmware updates.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify device model
    Access the camera's web interface or check the device label/documentation to confirm the exact model number (S3020 G2, S4020 G2, S4020 G3, or S4320 G2)
    Affected if The model is one of: S3020 G2, S4020 G2, S4020 G3, or S4320 G2
  2. Check firmware version
    Log into the camera's web interface and navigate to System > Firmware/Version or System > Information to find the installed firmware version
    Affected if Firmware version is older than the latest available from Intelbras for the affected models
  3. Verify web interface accessibility
    Attempt to access the camera's web interface (typically HTTP port 80 or HTTPS port 443) from a network location
    Affected if The web interface is reachable from network segments where untrusted users could access it
  4. Test vulnerable endpoint
    Using a web browser or curl command, access the URL: http://[camera-ip]/web_caps/webCapsConfig (or HTTPS equivalent) without providing any login credentials
    Affected if The endpoint returns sensitive configuration information (such as credentials, system settings, or network details) without requiring authentication

A user is affected if they have an Intelbras VIP camera model S3020 G2, S4020 G2, S4020 G3, or S4320 G2 with accessible web interface where the /web_caps/webCapsConfig endpoint returns sensitive data without authentication.
