Description

CWE-592: Authentication Bypass Issues - CVE-2014-1911

The FI8910W Foscam IP camera running firmware version 11.37.2.54 contains a vulnerability which allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain access to streaming video and image data.

Other models and firmwares may be affected.

Impact

An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to gain privileged access to video and image data.

Solution

Restrict Access
As a general good security practice, only allow connections from trusted hosts and networks. Appropriate firewall rules which block incoming connections from untrusted networks would likely prevent an external attacker from accessing the Foscam IP camera.
