Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network-layer reachability to the undocumented configuration-export TCP port on a ZKTeco SSC335-GC2063-Face-0B77 Solution Camera; the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms no authentication, no user interaction, and no special configuration on the attacker side. The limiting factor is purely network exposure: the port is not internet-routable by default in properly segmented deployments, so realistic risk is bounded by whether the camera sits on a segment reachable from attacker-controlled hosts (internet-facing NVR setups, flat office LANs, or guest-Wi-Fi-adjacent IoT VLANs). No specific firmware version, vendor configuration toggle, or feature-flag is named as a precondition in the description, implying the export port is present in default builds of the affected model.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated, no-user-interaction exploitation with high confidentiality and integrity impact, yielding a base score of 9.1 - a tier-one priority on paper. The integrity impact is presumably elevated because leaked credentials enable subsequent authenticated configuration changes, not because the export port itself writes state. EPSS and CISA KEV status were not provided in the input, so probability of in-the-wild exploitation cannot be independently quantified; the absence of KEV listing means there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Real-world risk is materially driven by exposure posture: cameras NATed behind firewalls are far less exposed than those reachable from the internet or untrusted segments, which is common for ICS/OT deployments tracked by CISA. Defenders should treat any internet-exposed or flat-network ZKTeco deployment as effectively compromised until the port is closed.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has gained network reachability to a ZKTeco camera - through internet exposure, a compromised office workstation, or a flat IoT VLAN - connects directly to the undocumented configuration-export port without supplying any credentials and receives a dump containing the camera's account passwords and service inventory. The attacker then logs in through the normal management interface using the disclosed credentials to view live video, pivot to firmware modification, or move laterally to other devices sharing reused credentials. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial nature of the bug (a single TCP connect) means weaponization is straightforward.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 20, 2026

Information disclosure in ZKTeco SSC335-GC2063-Face-0B77 Solution Camera exposes credentials and service details through an undocumented configuration export port that requires no authentication. Remote unauthenticated attackers on the network can retrieve camera account credentials and enumerate open services, enabling full takeover of the device. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.1 score and ICS-CERT advisory reflect significant operational risk to deployed surveillance infrastructure.

RemediationAI

Patch status is not explicitly provided in the input data, so consult the vendor announcement at https://www.zkteco.com/en/announcement/23 and CISA ICSA-26-139-04 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-139-04) for the exact fixed firmware version - no vendor-released patch version was independently confirmed from the provided data. As compensating controls until a verified fix is deployed, place cameras on an isolated management VLAN and block all inbound access to the undocumented configuration-export TCP port at the network firewall (this stops remote disclosure with no functional impact on RTSP/ONVIF video streams), rotate all camera account credentials after any potential exposure, and disable internet exposure of the device entirely (trade-off: remote viewing requires a VPN or reverse proxy with authentication). Pair this with egress filtering to detect post-compromise outbound traffic from the camera subnet.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is ZKTeco's SSC335-GC2063-Face-0B77 Solution Camera, an IP-based CCTV/face-recognition camera commonly deployed in physical access control and surveillance environments (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:zkteco:ssc335-gc2063-face-0b77_solution_camera). The root cause is CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel): the firmware exposes a hidden, undocumented configuration-export TCP port that bypasses the camera's normal authentication path entirely, returning configuration data - including device account credentials and a list of running services - in cleartext to any network peer that connects.

DescriptionCVE.org

An undocumented configuration export port is accessible on some models of ZKTeco CCTV cameras. This port does not require authentication and exposes critical information about the camera such as open services and camera account credentials.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

ZKTeco SSC335-GC2063 face recognition cameras in your deployment are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote credential theft via an undocumented configuration export port, enabling complete device compromise and physical security bypass. The CRITICAL severity rating and currently unavailable patch create urgent operational risk to surveillance infrastructure. Remediation requires immediate network isolation and close vendor monitoring.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation by isolating cameras to a dedicated VLAN with restricted inter-VLAN routing. Deploy network-level monitoring and alerting for unexpected configuration port access attempts. Disable remote administrative access to camera management interfaces where operationally feasible. Restrict camera management access to authenticated administrative networks only. Establish daily monitoring of ZKTeco security advisories for patch release notifications.
