MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The camera must be reachable over the network with RTSP (TCP/554) or ONVIF (HTTP) services active, which is the default operational configuration of IP cameras intended for remote viewing. No prior authentication or account is required (PR:N per CVSS 4.0). However, exploitation is rated AC:H and described as 'difficult,' implying a specific non-trivial condition must be met - likely a particular request structure, protocol sequence, or firmware state documented in the public PoC but not fully detailed in the CVE description. The impact is limited strictly to confidentiality (read access to video streams; VC:L); there is no write, delete, or denial-of-service vector confirmed by this vulnerability. Exploitation is limited to the camera's own video data - no lateral movement or scope change is indicated. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.9 (Low) is driven primarily by AC:H (high attack complexity), which the description corroborates - stating exploitation 'appears to be difficult' and requiring specific conditions beyond simple network connectivity. Impact is bounded to low confidentiality (VC:L) with no integrity or availability impact, meaning an attacker gains read access to video streams but cannot manipulate or disable the device via this vector. The vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, so mass or confirmed active exploitation is not established. A public PoC is confirmed on GitHub (referenced directly in the intelligence), which meaningfully lowers the exploitation barrier despite AC:H. EPSS data was not provided - this is a gap in the risk picture. The combination of a public PoC, network accessibility (AV:N), and no authentication requirement (PR:N) elevates practical risk above what the raw score suggests for internet-exposed cameras, particularly given that Tenda cameras are frequently deployed with RTSP ports open for remote viewing. However, no vendor advisory or patch has been published, and the high complexity rating is consistent with the description's characterization of non-trivial exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker discovers an internet-exposed Tenda camera via an IoT search engine such as Shodan by querying for RTSP banners or ONVIF WS-Discovery responses. Using the public PoC documented on GitHub, the attacker crafts a specific unauthenticated RTSP or ONVIF request that bypasses the missing authentication gate - meeting the high-complexity condition required - and receives the live camera video stream in return. The result is unauthorized passive surveillance of the camera's field of view without any credential or foothold on the target network. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026
Missing authentication on RTSP/ONVIF interfaces across ten Tenda smart camera product lines allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access live video streams without credentials. Affected devices include CH7, CH7G, CH10, CP3, CP3 Pro, CP7, and the TC3-series (TC3B14C, TC3B15C, TC3T14C, TC3T15C) running firmware through 20260625. Public proof-of-concept exploit code exists on GitHub (E:P per CVSS 4.0 supplemental metrics), though high attack complexity (AC:H) limits trivial mass exploitation; no vendor patch has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; the vulnerability reporter references a public PoC document at https://github.com/howitouchyou/Tenda-Smart-Camera-Vulnerability/blob/main/Tenda%20RTSP_ONVIF%20Auth%20Bypass/Tenda%20RTSP_ONVIF%20Auth%20Bypass.md but no official Tenda firmware update is confirmed. As immediate compensating controls: block inbound TCP port 554 (RTSP) and ports 80/8080 (ONVIF HTTP) at the network perimeter for all affected camera models - note this will prevent legitimate remote video viewing until a patch is available. Place cameras behind a VPN or enforce network-level access control (ACLs, firewall rules) so only trusted hosts can reach RTSP/ONVIF services; this eliminates the network-reachability prerequisite without disrupting local viewing. If the camera's administration interface permits disabling ONVIF, do so for devices not requiring ONVIF interoperability.

Technical ContextAI · show details
RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol, RFC 2326) is the standard protocol for delivering IP camera video streams; ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is the widely adopted interoperability standard for IP camera device management and discovery. CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function) identifies the root cause: the RTSP and ONVIF service endpoints on these Tenda devices fail to enforce credential checks before granting access to video stream data or device management functions. The CPE data confirms ten distinct Tenda product families affected under the cpe:2.3:a:tenda namespace, all with wildcard version specifiers up to the 20260625 firmware cutoff. Because RTSP and ONVIF are network-facing services enabled by default on IP cameras to support remote viewing, the attack surface is present on any network-reachable device without additional firewall controls.
