CVE-2024-5096Public exploitNetwork attack vector

MAC address disclosure via unauthenticated log file

Published May 19, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Information disclosure in Hipcam Device through 20240511 allows remote attackers to read the device MAC address from /log/wifi.mac. The web interface exposes the MAC Address Handler's wifi.mac log file without enforcing authentication, returning the stored hardware address to an unauthenticated request. Network reachability to the device is the only reported gate, and the documented consequence is disclosure of the device MAC address rather than broader file or configuration access.
