CVE-2024-6509Network attack vector

Authenticated device exhaustion via CGI file globbing

Published Sep 10, 2024 · Updated Mar 28, 2025

Resource exhaustion in AXIS OS 6.50 through 11.11 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt an Axis device through the VAPIX API. The alwaysmulti.cgi endpoint performs file globbing without safely neutralizing wildcard patterns, consuming finite device resources. A viewer-, operator-, or administrator-privileged service account is required, and Axis has withheld further technical details.
