What is CVE-2024-13894?
CVE-2024-13894 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in Smartwares C724IP, published on 6 Mar 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Smartwares cameras CIP-37210AT and C724IP, as well as others which share the same firmware in versions up to 3.3.0, are vulnerable to path traversal. When an affected device is connected to a mobile app, it opens a port 10000 enabling a user to download pictures shot at specific moments by providing paths to the files. However, the directories to which a user has access are not limited, allowing for path traversal attacks and downloading sensitive information. The vendor has not replied to reports, so the patching status remains unknown. Newer firmware versions might be vulnerable as well.
Weakness: CWE-22
