4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs

Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

Exploitation may allow an attacker to escalate privileges on an Axis device if configuration conditions are met and the victim installs a malicious application. The risk is limited but could lead to device compromise.

Recommendation

Disable the installation of unsigned ACAP applications on Axis devices and apply available security updates. Inform users about the risks of installing applications from unknown sources.
