Summary
ACAP applications can gain elevated privileges due to improper input validation during installation, potentially leading to privilege escalation. The vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device allows installation of unsigned ACAP applications and an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
Risk Assessment
If unsigned ACAP installation is enabled, a malicious application could gain elevated privileges on the Axis device. Exploitation requires a user to install the crafted application.
Recommendation
Disable installation of unsigned ACAP applications and install only applications from trusted sources. Update the Axis device software to a version containing the fix.
Other vulnerabilities in Axis ACAP
See all- CVE-2026-0804Medium
An ACAP configuration file lacked sufficient input validation, which could allow a path traversal attack leading to potential privilege escalation. Exploitation requires the Axis device to allow installation of unsigned ACAP applications and the attacker to convince the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
- CVE-2026-0802Medium
An ACAP configuration file lacked sufficient input validation, which could allow command injection and potentially lead to privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
- CVE-2025-8108Medium
An ACAP configuration file has improper permissions and lacks input validation, which could potentially lead to privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
- CVE-2025-6779Medium
An ACAP configuration file has improper permissions, which could allow command injection and potentially lead to privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
- CVE-2025-6298Medium
ACAP applications can gain elevated privileges due to improper input validation, potentially leading to privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
- CVE-2025-5454Medium
An ACAP configuration file lacked sufficient input validation, which could allow a path traversal attack leading to potential privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
- CVE-2025-5452Medium
A malicious ACAP application can gain access to admin-level service account credentials used by legitimate ACAP applications, leading to potential privilege escalation of the malicious ACAP application. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
- CVE-2025-4645Medium
An ACAP configuration file lacked sufficient input validation, which could allow for arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow installation of unsigned ACAP applications and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
Original NVD description (English source)
ACAP applications can gain elevated privileges due to improper input validation during the installation process, potentially leading to privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
