A serious security vulnerability has been discovered in LG Innotek\u2019s LNV5110R camera model that could allow cybercriminals to gain complete administrative control over affected devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an advisory on July 24, 2025, warning of a remotely exploitable flaw that affects all versions of the camera model worldwide.<\/p>\n
Key Takeaways<\/strong>
1. Critical vulnerability in LG Innotek LNV5110R cameras allows remote admin takeover.
2. No security patches available as product is end-of-life.
3. Network isolation and firewalls are only protection options.<\/pre>\nAuthentication Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2025-7742)<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The vulnerability, designated as CVE-2025-7742, stems from an authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel (CWE-288).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Security researcher Souvik Kandar discovered that malicious actors can exploit this flaw by uploading specially crafted HTTP POST requests to the device\u2019s non-volatile storage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This authentication weakness allows attackers to circumvent normal security controls and execute arbitrary commands with administrator-level privileges.<\/p>\n
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.0 with the vector string AV:N\/AC:H\/PR:N\/UI:N\/S:U\/C:H\/I:L\/A:L, indicating high network accessibility but high attack complexity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Under the newer CVSS v4.0 scoring system, the flaw receives a more severe base score of 8.3 with vector AV:N\/AC:H\/AT:N\/PR:N\/UI:N\/VC:H\/VI:L\/VA:L\/SC:N\/SI:N\/SA:N, emphasizing the significant risk to confidentiality.<\/p>\n
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability enables remote code execution<\/a> (RCE), allowing attackers to run arbitrary commands on target devices at the administrator privilege level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This level of access could enable cybercriminals to manipulate camera feeds, access sensitive surveillance data, or use compromised devices as pivot points for broader network attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The vulnerability particularly threatens commercial facilities and critical infrastructure sectors where these cameras are commonly deployed.<\/p>\n
The flaw\u2019s network-accessible nature means attackers can potentially exploit it from anywhere on the internet without requiring physical access to the devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, CISA notes that the vulnerability has high attack complexity, and no known public exploitation targeting this specific flaw has been reported at this time.<\/p>\n
