EseeCloud: Use of hard-coded credentials allows device login
Summary
EseeCloud app and firmware contain a hard-coded credential that allows logging in to affected EseeCloud IP camera devices. An attacker with network access can use it without privileges or user interaction, which could give full control over the affected cameras. CISA rates the CVSS v4.0 score as 9.3 (Critical); the vendor did not respond to coordination attempts and no fix is published.
Affected
- EseeCloud App: 0 to 4.9.6
- EseeCloud Firmware: 0 to 4.9.86.0
Fixed in
Unknown. No fixed version has been published by the vendor.
Workaround
- Keep affected devices off the internet and behind firewalls.
- Place devices in a segregated network segment.
- If remote access is required, use a maintained VPN and assess operational risk before changes.
- Restrict cloud/P2P connections where operationally possible.
Exploitation
- No known public exploitation specifically targeting this vulnerability has been reported to CISA at the time of publication.
- SSVC: exploitation none, automatable yes, technical impact total.
- No public proof of concept found in the research performed.
Our recommendation
- Inventory all EseeCloud apps and firmware and compare versions with 4.9.6 and 4.9.86.0.
- Remove direct internet exposure of the cameras and isolate them in a separate VLAN.
- Monitor for unexpected logins or new device bindings.
- Contact the vendor and track for a firmware release; replace the devices if no fix becomes available.
