CVE-2025-52599
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 · uneditedCybersecurity Nozomi Networks Labs, a specialized security company focused on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and OT/IoT security, has discovered Inadequate of permission management for camera guest account. 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 · moderate confidenceInadequate permission management for a camera guest account allows a user with guest-level access to perform actions beyond the intended guest permissions. This appears to be an authorization bypass where the guest account can access functionality or data that should be restricted to higher-privilege users.

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 Hanwhavision camera models in your environmentInventory all network camera devices and note the model numbers. Look for models: Xnv L6080r, Xnd L6080rva, Xnd L6080va, Xno L6080ra, Xnv L6080a, Qnp 6320h, Qnp 6320Affected if Any of these specific Hanwhavision models are present in your environment
-
Check firmware version on affected camera modelsAccess the camera web interface or use the manufacturer's management software to retrieve the current firmware version. Compare against the affected version range.Affected if Firmware version is lower than 2.23.01 (for example, 2.22.x, 2.21.x, etc.)
-
Verify if guest account is enabledLog into the camera administration panel and navigate to the user accounts or permissions settings. Check whether a guest-level account is created or enabled.Affected if A guest account is active or configurable on the camera
-
Review guest account permissionsIn the camera user management section, examine what permissions or access rights are assigned to the guest account. Look for access to settings, recording, or administrative functions that should be restricted.Affected if Guest account has permissions beyond basic viewing, or if guest can access admin/settings functions
You are affected if you have any of the listed Hanwhavision camera models running firmware version 2.23.01 or lower, AND guest account functionality is enabled on the device.

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 · scoped2.23.01
Apply the manufacturer-released patch firmware to affected camera devices. Consult the manufacturer's security advisory for specific affected versions and detailed remediation steps.
Firmware version 2.23.01
- Download firmware version 2.23.01 or later from the official Hanwha Vision support portal (www.hanwhavision.com)
- Access the affected camera's web-based management interface
- Navigate to the System or Maintenance section
- Locate the Firmware Upgrade option
- Upload and apply firmware version 2.23.01
- After upgrade completes, verify the firmware version has been updated successfully
- Confirm the guest account permissions are now properly restricted
