CVE-2023-0954

Credential compromise via factory-enabled debug feature

Published Jun 8, 2023 · Updated Jan 6, 2025

Active debug code in Johnson Controls Illustra Pro Gen 4 cameras allows adjacent attackers to compromise device credentials. A debug feature is misconfigured as enabled on newly manufactured cameras and exposes credentials under certain circumstances after sustained access. Attackers must remain on an adjacent network for a prolonged attack; the published record does not identify a specific extraction interface.
