CVE-2025-0359

Security-boundary bypass via restricted D-Bus method access

Published Mar 4, 2025 · Updated Mar 28, 2025

Incorrect authorization in AXIS OS 11.11 through 12.1 allows local users to access restricted D-Bus methods through an ACAP application. The ACAP Application framework incorrectly authorizes application-originated D-Bus calls, exposing methods designated as restricted; Axis has not disclosed the affected methods or exact authorization check. Exploitation requires code executing as an ACAP application on an Axis device and permits protected-state modification, with limited confidentiality and availability effects.
