CVE-2026-125079: D-Link DCS-6501LH hard-coded credentials in media service

CVE-2026-125079 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-11-10

The D-Link DCS-6501LH network camera contains hard-coded credentials (admin / 174250) in its media service that cannot be changed through normal configuration. An attacker on the same network can remotely access the camera's RTSP and ONVIF streams without any authentication, gaining full access to video feeds. This is particularly concerning for cameras used in surveillance deployments where video feeds should be confidential.

Vendors: D-Link.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an instance of hard-coded credentials (CWE-798, CWE-259) in the Media Service component (/mnt/mtd/aoni_ipc). The ONVIF/RTSP user "admin" is compiled into the binary, and the password defaults to a compile-time constant "174250" retrieved from SystemConfig.ini with a hard-coded fallback. An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access can connect to RTSP port 554 or HTTP media CGI on port 6000/7000 and authenticate using the fixed credentials, bypassing all digest authentication checks.
