CVE-2026-79396Network attack vector

Administrative takeover via embedded default credentials

Published Sep 11, 2026 · Updated Sep 11, 2026

Hardcoded credentials in Xiongmai IP Camera XM530 firmware HMT.CM2005-v220608.1837 and earlier allow remote attackers to gain administrative control. The firmware stores a static account in plaintext in bin/config.xml and compiles the same credentials into the Sofia executable. Network reachability to a login service accepting the default account is sufficient for full camera administration, including configuration and feed access.
