CISA warns critical Apeman camera flaws could expose live feeds and enable device takeover

CISA has published an advisory for Apeman’s ID71 camera line, warning that all listed versions are affected by three vulnerabilities that could let attackers take control of the device or view camera feeds. The issues are tracked as CVE-2025-11126, CVE-2025-11851, and CVE-2025-11852, and carry a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8.

According to CISA advisory ICSA-26-069-01, the flaws involve insufficiently protected credentials, a cross-site scripting bug in the web interface, and missing authentication for a critical function. That combination is especially serious for internet-connected cameras, where exposed credentials or unauthenticated administrative actions can quickly turn into unauthorized access to video, settings, and accounts.

CISA said successful exploitation could allow an attacker to “take control of the device or view camera feeds.” The advisory lists the affected product as Apeman Cameras ID71, with all versions impacted. At publication time, the advisory is the clearest public source on scope and severity; users should check for any vendor firmware updates or additional guidance tied to the affected model.

The practical risk goes beyond the camera itself. A compromised surveillance device can expose sensitive footage, reveal occupancy patterns, and serve as a foothold on the local network. For homes and small businesses, that means a privacy and security problem in one device. For organizations that place cameras on the same segment as workstations or storage systems, the exposure can extend further.

Until a patch or vendor mitigation is confirmed, defenders should isolate affected cameras from critical systems, block direct internet exposure, disable remote administration where possible, and rotate any credentials associated with the device. Users connecting to camera interfaces remotely should also avoid doing so over untrusted networks without protections such as a VPN.

CISA did not indicate in the advisory summary whether these vulnerabilities are being actively exploited, but the 9.8 score and the nature of the flaws make this a high-priority remediation case for anyone running an Apeman ID71 camera.
