DescriptionCVE.org

Hisilicon HiIpcam V100R003 contains a directory traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive configuration files by exploiting directory listing in the cgi-bin directory. Attackers can request the getadslattr.cgi endpoint to retrieve ADSL credentials and network configuration parameters including usernames, passwords, and DNS settings.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Hisilicon HiIpcam devices (V100R003) are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote access of sensitive configuration files, potentially exposing credentials and system settings to attackers. Any organization deploying these IP cameras faces immediate risk of unauthorized access and lateral movement into connected networks. This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, and no vendor patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Network segmentation (isolate cameras to dedicated VLAN with restricted access); WAF rules blocking directory traversal patterns and cgi-bin path traversal attempts; disable directory listing in web server configuration if accessible; implement IP whitelisting for camera management access; disable remote access and require VPN for administrative functions; monitor for suspicious directory traversal attempts in access logs; consider disabling the cgi-bin directory entirely if not required for core functionality.

Attack Technique

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.
