Technical details

The CM2507 does not require authentication for its network video streaming service, allowing unauthenticated remote access over the network. This is a missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) that exposes video content to any network-adjacent or remote attacker. No user interaction or special privileges are required; an attacker simply needs network connectivity to the device to retrieve live video streams.
