CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Directory traversal vulnerability in Axis Network Camera 2.40 and earlier, and Video Server 3.12 and earlier, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a .. (dot dot) in an HTTP POST request to ServerManager.srv, then use these privileges to conduct other activities, such as modifying files using editcgi.cgi.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2004-2426 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
