CVE-2024-47261Network attack vector

Overlay-creation denial via insufficient upload validation

Published Apr 8, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2025

Improper input validation in AXIS OS 10.12 through 12.2 allows remote authenticated users to block creation of image overlays. The uploadoverlayimage.cgi VAPIX endpoint accepts uploaded files without sufficient validation and leaves image-overlay creation inaccessible in the device web interface. Exploitation requires an operator- or administrator-privileged service account and affects overlay management rather than the entire device.
