Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Kenik Camera management Panel is vulnerable to Path Traversal vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker can send GET request with arbitrary file path and read corresponding files located on the server.
The issue was fixed in version 2026-04-23 of the KG-5260xxxx-IL-(G)2 cameras. Rest of the products were fixed in version 2025-04-21.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file read in the Kenik IP camera management panel lets an unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent network retrieve any file on the device by supplying a crafted path in a single GET request. The flaw (CWE-22 path traversal) affects multiple Kenik KG-5230/KG-5260 series cameras and was coordinated by CERT-PL; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.04%). Vendor firmware fixes are available, so the practical priority is patching exposed camera fleets rather than treating this as an internet-wide emergency.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the web-based management panel embedded in Kenik network (IP) surveillance cameras, a CCTV product line distributed primarily in the Polish/European market. The root cause is CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory): the HTTP handler that serves files does not canonicalize or constrain user-supplied path input, allowing directory-traversal sequences to escape the intended web root and reference arbitrary filesystem locations. The CPE set identifies the concrete affected firmware images - kenik kg-5230tas-il-3, kg-5230tas-il-g3, kg-5230das-il-g3, kg-5260tzas-il-3, kg-5260dzas-il-3, kg-5260tzas-il-g3, kg-5260dzas-il-g3, and kg-5260xxxx-il-(g)2. Because the request is an unauthenticated GET, the exposure is confidentiality of on-device files (configuration, credentials, system files) rather than code execution or tampering.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update KG-5260xxxx-IL-(G)2 cameras to firmware version 2026-04-23, and all other affected models (KG-5230TAS-IL-3, KG-5230TAS-IL-G3, KG-5230DAS-IL-G3, KG-5260TZAS-IL-3, KG-5260DZAS-IL-3, KG-5260TZAS-IL-G3, KG-5260DZAS-IL-G3) to firmware version 2025-04-21 or later, following the CERT-PL advisory at https://cert.pl/posts/2026/05/CVE-2026-7766. Where immediate updates are not possible, restrict reachability to the management panel: place cameras on an isolated VLAN and block the HTTP/HTTPS management port from general user and internet-facing segments (trade-off: legitimate NVR/VMS integrations must be explicitly allowlisted), and never expose the camera web interface to the internet or via port-forwarding. Because the file read is unauthenticated, also rotate any credentials or secrets stored on affected devices after patching, since prior exposure cannot be ruled out.
