Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This flaw affects a specific Foscam C1 Indoor HD Camera firmware build. A low-privileged network user could send a crafted request to the Multi-Camera interface on port 10000 and corrupt memory, potentially affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation where cameras are reachable beyond a restricted management network. The business risk is strongest for sites relying on these cameras for physical security, privacy-sensitive monitoring, or segmented network trust.

Technical view

CVE-2017-2875 is a buffer overflow in the Foscam C1 Multi-Camera interface. The cited firmware is system 1.9.3.18, application 2.52.2.43, plug-in 3.3.0.26. CVSS 3.0 rates it 8.8 with network attack vector, low privileges, no user interaction, and high CIA impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to Foscam C1 Indoor HD Cameras running the cited firmware, especially where port 10000 is reachable from untrusted or broad internal networks. Evidence does not identify other Foscam models as affected.

Exploitation context

The provided sources describe an exploitable buffer overflow, but do not cite active exploitation. The CVE is not marked KEV. Treat reachable affected cameras as high-risk embedded devices, but do not assume exploitation without supporting evidence.

Researcher notes

The source bundle does not name a patch level or vendor advisory remediation. Analysis should stay scoped to the listed C1 firmware and Talos report details. CVSS PR:L suggests some level of privilege is required, but the exact access condition is not established here.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory Foscam C1 cameras and record firmware versions.
  • Restrict access to port 10000 to trusted management networks only.
  • Check Foscam guidance for fixed firmware or vendor-supported mitigations.
  • Remove, isolate, or replace affected devices if no supported update exists.
  • Monitor camera network traffic for unexpected access to port 10000.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm whether any Foscam C1 cameras run application firmware 2.52.2.43.
  • Verify TCP port 10000 exposure from internet, guest, and user networks.
  • Review firewall rules for camera management interfaces.
  • Use passive or authenticated checks; avoid overflow-triggering validation traffic.
  • Document affected asset owners and remediation status.
