The ACAP Application framework could allow privilege escalation through a symlink attack.

MEDIUM 6.8EPSS 0.36%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.36%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The ACAP Application framework could allow privilege escalation through a symlink attack. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
