Hikvision: security record
CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog lists 2 flaws in Hikvision cameras and video recorders that attackers have exploited in the wild, added between 10 January 2022 and 5 March 2026.
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.
Hikvision Multiple Products Improper Authentication Vulnerability
Multiple Hikvision products contain an improper authentication vulnerability that could allow a malicious user to escalate privileges on the system and gain access to sensitive information.
Hikvision Improper Input Validation
A command injection vulnerability in the web server of some Hikvision product. Due to the insufficient input validation.
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.
