Summary

Puwell IP Camera firmware versions 2.x through 4.x contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access device functions by sending protocol-conforming packets over TCP port 23456 without credentials. Attackers can exploit the unvalidated Session field in the proprietary control protocol header to access live video streams, control pan and tilt motors, activate audio functions, and remotely restart the device.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes unauthorized access to live video feeds, camera manipulation, and disruption of device operation, which could compromise privacy and physical security.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the camera firmware to a version newer than 4.x if available, and to restrict access to port 23456 to trusted networks only.

Other vulnerabilities in Puwell IP Camera

CVE-2026-61515Critical
Puwell IP Camera firmware versions 2.x through 4.x contains an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands by sending a crafted JSON payload to the DebugShell interface exposed on TCP port 34567. Attackers can exploit the lack of authentication and input sanitization in the binary protocol service to pass arbitrary commands directly to the underlying operating system, achieving root-level code execution and complete device compromise.
