CVE-2017-17101: An issue was discovered in Apexis APM-H803-MPC software, as used with many different models of IP Camera.

An issue was discovered in Apexis APM-H803-MPC software, as used with many different models of IP Camera. An unprotected CGI method inside the web application permits an unauthenticated user to bypass the login screen and access the webcam contents including: live video stream, configuration files with all the passwords, system information, and much more. With this vulnerability, anyone can access to a vulnerable webcam with 'super admin' privilege.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This CVE describes an unauthenticated bypass in Apexis APM-H803-MPC IP camera software. A vulnerable camera could expose live video, configuration files, stored passwords, and system details with super-admin-level access. The public record does not list exact camera models, fixed versions, or vendor remediation.

Executive priority

Prioritize this for any exposed surveillance environment because compromise could reveal video feeds and passwords. Urgency is highest for internet-facing cameras or sites handling sensitive physical security monitoring.

Technical view

The issue is an unprotected CGI method in the camera web application that bypasses login and grants privileged access to sensitive camera functions and data. The CVE source provides no CVSS, CWE, CPE, affected-version mapping, or patch information.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where Apexis APM-H803-MPC-based IP cameras are reachable on internal or public networks. Exact affected models are not enumerated in the source bundle.

Exploitation context

CISA KEV is false, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation. A public YouTube reference is cited, but the bundle does not provide enough detail to characterize exploit availability.

Researcher notes

The record is sparse: affected vendor/product fields are n/a, with no CVSS, CWE, CPE, or fixed version. Treat this as an access-control failure until model and firmware mapping is confirmed from device evidence or vendor documentation.

Mitigation direction

  • Check vendor or device-maker guidance for affected models and fixed firmware.
  • Remove camera web interfaces from direct internet exposure.
  • Restrict access with firewall rules, VPN, or management-network segmentation.
  • Rotate camera and related account passwords after exposure is ruled out or remediated.
  • Replace devices if no supported fix or secure configuration exists.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory IP cameras and identify Apexis APM-H803-MPC software usage.
  • Confirm model and firmware status against vendor documentation.
  • Review external exposure for camera web management interfaces.
  • Check whether sensitive configuration or credential data was accessible.
  • Review camera access logs for unauthenticated or unusual administrative activity.
