CVE-2024-7696
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 · uneditedSeth Fogie, member of AXIS Camera Station Pro Bug Bounty Program, has found that it is possible for an authenticated malicious client to tamper with audit log creation in AXIS Camera Station, or perform a Denial-of-Service attack on the AXIS Camera Station server using maliciously crafted audit log entries. Axis has released a patched version for the highlighted flaw. Please refer to the Axis security advisory for more information and solution.
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 confidenceThis vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to tamper with audit log entries or cause a Denial-of-Service condition on the AXIS Camera Station server by sending maliciously crafted audit log data. The attack requires valid authentication credentials, suggesting the application insufficiently validates or sanitizes audit log input from authenticated clients.

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 Axis Camera Station Pro installation versionLocate the installed Axis Camera Station Pro version through the application GUI under Help > About, or check the Windows Programs and Features list, or query the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Axis Communications\Camera Station Pro for the version entryAffected if The installed version is lower than 6.5.35848
-
Confirm audit logging is enabledAccess Axis Camera Station Pro server settings and verify that audit logging functionality is turned on in the logging or system configuration sectionAffected if Audit logging is enabled and the server version is vulnerable
-
Verify authentication is activeCheck that the server has authentication enabled for client connections, typically via the server configuration or system settings in the Axis Camera Station client interfaceAffected if Authentication is required and configured, which is the normal operational state and necessary for exploitation
You are affected if Axis Camera Station Pro version is below 6.5.35848, audit logging is enabled, and the server accepts authenticated client connections.
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 · scoped6.5.35848
Apply the vendor patch released by Axis for AXIS Camera Station. Verify audit logging functionality after patching to ensure logs cannot be tampered with and the server remains available under malformed input conditions.
6.5.35848 or later
- Upgrade AXIS Camera Station Pro to version 6.5.35848 or later
- After upgrading, verify that audit logs are being created correctly by generating test events
- Confirm the server is no longer accepting maliciously crafted audit log entries
