Publication date: 2026-09-23

Last updated on: 2026-09-23

Assigner: Securifera, Inc.

Description
OpenEye Apex Network Video Recorder (NVR) firmware 3.2.9.376 contains a hardcoded, undocumented recovery account with a shared credential that cannot be changed, disabled, or rotated. An unauthenticated remote attacker can use the account to authenticate to the password-reset workflow. The account does not provide normal administrator access; additional vulnerabilities are required to obtain an administrator takeover. The underlying design has been present since at least firmware 2.2.3.4. Upgrade to version 3.5.4.

Executive Summary

OpenEye Apex Network Video Recorder (NVR) firmware 3.2.9.376 has a hardcoded recovery account with a shared credential that cannot be changed, disabled, or rotated. An unauthenticated remote attacker can use this account to access the password-reset workflow. The account does not grant full administrator access by itself; additional vulnerabilities are needed for full takeover.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your OpenEye Apex NVR firmware version is below 3.5.4. Use the web interface or SSH to verify the firmware version. If the version is 3.2.9.376 or earlier, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to gain unauthorized access to the password-reset function, potentially allowing them to reset other user passwords and escalate privileges. This could lead to unauthorized viewing or manipulation of video feeds and system settings.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability may impact compliance with standards like GDPR and HIPAA due to the presence of a hardcoded recovery account with shared credentials. This could allow unauthorized access to the system, potentially leading to data breaches or unauthorized modifications. Such access could violate data protection requirements under GDPR (e.g., unauthorized processing) and HIPAA (e.g., unauthorized access to protected health information).

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade the OpenEye Apex Network Video Recorder firmware to version 3.5.4 or later to resolve the vulnerability.
