From RCE to camera credentials in Axis Camera Station
During a penetration test, I exploited CVE-2025-30023 (insecure deserialization) chained with CVE-2025-30026 (authentication bypass) to get SYSTEM-level RCE on two Windows machines running Axis Camera Station on a factory. After that, I discovered CVE-2026-63286, a weak credential encryption scheme, which allowed me to decrypt all the camera credentials stored in the application’s database and connect to the cameras.
