The affected products are vulnerable to an unauthenticated API endpoint exposure. This allows an attacker to remotely change the "forgot password" recovery email address, potentially leading to full account takeover and unauthorized access to camera feeds. The issue is rated as critical with a CVSS score of 9.8. The vulnerability impacts systems deployed in commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure environments globally.
The vulnerable API endpoint does not require authentication, enabling an attacker to modify the email address associated with password recovery. This allows the attacker to initiate a password reset and gain control of the account. The `recovery email` is the key parameter exploited through the exposed API endpoint.
