Critical CVSS 9.1
CVE-2026-51597
MERCURY MIPC252W IP camera v1.0.5 Build 230306 Rel.79931n does not implement nonce expiration in RTSP Digest authentication. An adjacent network attacker can capture a legitimate authentication exchange and replay the nonce and response values in a new connection to bypass authentication without knowledge of the device credentials, gaining unauthorized access to the live video stream.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
