Credential disclosure via unrestricted users database download
Published Aug 18, 2022 · Updated Oct 17, 2025
Authentication bypass in FLIR AX8 thermal sensor cameras 1.46.16 and earlier allows remote attackers to download the SQLite users database. The web service accepts a URI naming that database without enforcing directory access restrictions, exposing usernames and hashed passwords. Exploitation requires only network reachability and no authentication; the documented impact is credential disclosure, with no reported ability to alter camera operation.
