CVE-2024-8160Network attack vector

Administrator command injection via ftptest.cgi input

Published Nov 26, 2024 · Updated Mar 28, 2025

Command injection in AXIS OS 10.9 through 12.0 allows remote authenticated users to transfer files to or from an Axis device. The VAPIX ftptest.cgi endpoint passes insufficiently validated administrator-supplied input into the command path used for FTP testing. Exploitation requires an administrator-privileged service account; Axis has not disclosed any broader command-execution consequence.
