Device memory exhaustion via excess audio clip uploads
Published Mar 4, 2025 · Updated Mar 28, 2025
Resource exhaustion in the VAPIX mediaclip.cgi API in AXIS OS 9.80 through 12.2 allows remote authenticated users to exhaust device memory. The endpoint accepts uploads beyond the designed audio-clip limit because it does not sufficiently validate the number of clips, allowing repeated additions to consume all available memory. Exploitation requires an operator- or administrator-privileged service account and interrupts the device through memory exhaustion; Axis has not disclosed further implementation details.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
