Older Hikvision network cameras relied on HTTP for communication with Dynamic DNS providers like DynDNS and NO-IP. This exposed usernames and passwords as they were sent in cleartext, making them vulnerable to interception.
Impact:
An attacker exploiting this vulnerability could:
Steal Dynamic DNS Credentials:
Capture usernames and passwords, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the user’s Dynamic DNS account.
Disrupt Communication:
Interfere with the camera’s connection to the Dynamic DNS service, preventing remote access to the camera.
Launch Further Attacks:
Use the compromised Dynamic DNS account to redirect traffic or launch other malicious activities.
Affected Products:
A wide range of Hikvision network camera models are affected, including:
DS-2CD1xxxG0, DS-2CD2xx1G0, DS-2CD3xx1G0, IPC-xxxxH (versions prior to V5.7.23 build241008)
DS-2CD29xxG0 (versions prior to V5.7.21 build240814)
DS-2CD1xxxG2, DS-2CD3xx1G2, HWI-xxxxHA, IPC-xxxxHA (versions prior to V5.8.4 build240613)
DS-2CD2xxxG2, DS-2CD3xxxG2 (versions prior to V5.7.18 build240826)
DS-2CD2xxxFWD (versions prior to V5.6.821 build240409)
Solution:
Hikvision fixed the vulnerability by releasing updated firmware that requires HTTPS communication with Dynamic DNS services. Affected camera users should update their firmware immediately.
