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
Authentication bypass in the password recovery feature of the local web interface across multiple VIGI camera models allows an attacker on the LAN to reset the admin password without verification by manipulating client-side state. Attackers can gain full administrative access to the device, compromising configuration and network security.

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

Authentication bypass in the password recovery feature of the local web interface allows an attacker on the LAN to reset the admin password without verification by manipulating client-side state, granting full administrative access to the device.

MitigationIsolate affected devices on a restricted network segment and monitor for unauthorized access attempts; apply vendor firmware updates when available.

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 if the device has a web-based management interface
    Check for accessible HTTP/HTTPS services on the local network that serve a login or administrative portal. Use a port scanner or check network services on common web ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443).
    Affected if A web interface for administrative access is present and reachable on the LAN.
  2. Confirm the password recovery feature exists
    Access the web interface and look for 'forgot password', 'password recovery', or 'reset password' links or endpoints. This may be at paths like /login, /password-reset, /forgot, or similar.
    Affected if A password recovery or password reset functionality is available in the web interface.
  3. Determine if password recovery relies on client-side state
    Inspect the password recovery workflow using browser developer tools or a proxy. Look for hidden fields, cookies, or tokens that could be manipulated on the client side rather than validated server-side.
    Affected if The password reset process accepts or relies on client-side parameters (hidden form fields, cookies, client-generated tokens) without proper server-side verification.
  4. Check for unauthorized admin account changes
    Log into the administrative interface and review user accounts, especially the admin account. Look for unexpected changes to account status, password last-changed dates, or unknown admin-level accounts.
    Affected if The admin password has been changed without authorization, or unauthorized admin accounts exist.
  5. Review access logs for password reset activity
    Examine web server logs, system logs, or any available audit logs for password reset requests, especially from multiple IP addresses or at unexpected times.
    Affected if Password reset or account modification events appear in logs that were not initiated by legitimate administrators.

A user is affected if their device has a LAN-accessible web interface with a password recovery feature that can be bypassed through client-side state manipulation.
