CVE-2022-37061Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated root command execution via res.php id injection

Published Aug 18, 2022 · Updated Oct 17, 2025

OS command injection in FLIR AX8 firmware 1.46.16 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. The res.php endpoint passes the id HTTP POST parameter to a shell command without neutralizing shell metacharacters. No authentication is required, so network access to the camera's web server is sufficient for control of the underlying operating system.
