Summary

The ACAP Application framework could allow privilege escalation through a symlink attack. 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.

Risk Assessment

Under a specific configuration, an attacker could gain higher privileges on an Axis device, potentially leading to device compromise. However, it requires victim interaction and an insecure configuration.

Recommendation

Disable installation of unsigned ACAP applications and install only trusted, signed applications; update the Axis device firmware.
