Unauthenticated Password Reset in KMW CCTV Security Cameras
CVE-2026-5386 is a critical vulnerability in KMW CCTV security cameras that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to reset the administrator password to a known value. The issue is described as an unverified password change weakness: the affected devices accept crafted password-change requests without properly validating the requester’s identity or authorization. This enables takeover of the administrative account and full control of the device. Reported affected products include KMW KM-IP521 running firmware IPCAM_V4.04.91.230307 and KM-IP421 running firmware IPCAM_V4.04.53.210416.
