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
The affected products allow unauthenticated access to Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) services, which may allow an attacker unauthorized access to camera configuration information.

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

The affected IP cameras lack authentication enforcement on ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) service endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to query camera configuration data including device information, network settings, user accounts, and streaming parameters.

MitigationApply vendor-provided firmware updates that enforce authentication on ONVIF services, or implement network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict access to ONVIF ports to only authorized management systems.

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 ONVIF service availability
    Scan the network for open ports commonly used by ONVIF services (typically ports 80, 554, 8000, or 8080). Use a network scanner like nmap: nmap -p 80,554,8000,8080 <camera_ip>
    Affected if ONVIF ports are open and reachable on the target camera
  2. Test unauthenticated ONVIF device info request
    Send an unauthenticated SOAP request to the ONVIF endpoint. Using curl: curl -X POST http://<camera_ip>/onvif/device_service -d '<?xml version="1.0"?><s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"><s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><GetDeviceInformation xmlns="http://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl"/></s:Body></s:Envelope>'
    Affected if The camera returns device information (model, firmware version, serial number) without prompting for credentials
  3. Verify ONVIF authentication is enforced
    Check the camera web interface or ONVIF configuration for authentication settings. Look for options like 'ONVIF Authentication', 'WS-Security', or 'Digest Authentication' and confirm they are enabled
    Affected if Authentication is disabled or set to 'none' for ONVIF services
  4. Query ONVIF user accounts without credentials
    Send an ONVIF GetUsers request to the device endpoint without providing any auth headers
    Affected if The response returns user account details (usernames, user levels) without authentication failure

If ONVIF services are accessible and respond to GetDeviceInformation or GetUsers requests without requiring credentials, the camera is affected by this vulnerability.
