Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-1316 is a command injection vulnerability found in Edimax IC-7100 IP cameras. It stems from improper neutralization of special elements within requests, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely. Exploitation involves crafting specific requests to gain control of the device. While authentication is typically required, attackers exploit the prevalence of default or weak credentials on internet-exposed cameras. Successful exploitation enables attackers to execute shell scripts, often downloading malware like Mirai. The vulnerability affects all versions of the IC-7100 and was reported to the vendor in October 2024. However, as of March 2025, no patch is available, and the vendor has been unresponsive to disclosure attempts, citing the product's end-of-life status. Multiple Mirai-based botnets are actively exploiting this vulnerability.

Description: Edimax IC-7100 does not properly neutralize requests. An attacker can create specially crafted requests to achieve remote code execution on the device
