Amcrest: security record
CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog lists 1 flaw in Amcrest cameras and video recorders that attackers have exploited in the wild, added on 3 November 2021.
What this list means
CISA adds a flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog when there is reliable evidence that attackers have used it in the wild and clear steps exist to fix or reduce it. A listed flaw usually has a patch or workaround from the maker. Some older devices are no longer supported and will not be fixed. If you own an affected model, check the maker's notice, update the firmware or replace the device if it is out of support.
Amcrest Cameras and NVR Stack-based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Amcrest cameras and NVR contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability through port 37777 that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to crash the device and possibly execute code.
A listing shows that a flaw was exploited, not how a maker compares overall. Makers with many devices in use tend to appear more often. Check the maker's own notice for the models and firmware versions affected.
