Overview
CVE-2025-64730 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting all versions of the Sony SNC-CX600W IP camera. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the web browser of a user who accesses a compromised camera’s web interface. This could lead to session hijacking, defacement of the camera’s web interface, or the execution of malicious actions on behalf of the user.
Technical Details
The vulnerability stems from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input within the SNC-CX600W’s web interface. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code through a crafted URL or form input. When a user interacts with the camera’s web interface, the injected script is executed, allowing the attacker to perform actions within the user’s browser context. The specific injection point is not detailed in the publicly available vulnerability information, but potential areas to investigate include input fields in the camera’s settings or configuration pages.
CVSS Analysis
Currently, the CVSS score for CVE-2025-64730 is listed as N/A. However, based on the nature of the vulnerability (XSS) and its potential impact, it is likely to be categorized as a Medium to High severity issue once a CVSS score is assigned. A reflected XSS usually gets a CVSS score around 6.1. A stored XSS gets around 7.5. The lack of a score should not diminish the importance of addressing the issue promptly.
Possible Impact
The potential impact of CVE-2025-64730 is significant and includes:
- Session Hijacking: Attackers can steal user session cookies, gaining unauthorized access to the camera’s administrative interface.
- Web Interface Defacement: Attackers can modify the appearance and functionality of the camera’s web interface.
- Malware Distribution: The compromised camera could be used to distribute malware to users accessing the web interface.
- Information Theft: Attackers could potentially access and steal sensitive information stored within the camera’s web interface or configuration.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
The primary mitigation step is to apply the latest firmware update provided by Sony for the SNC-CX600W. Check the Sony support website regularly for updates. In the meantime, the following steps can help to reduce the risk:
- Apply the Patch: Download and install the latest firmware update for your SNC-CX600W camera from Sony’s official support page.
- Network Segmentation: Isolate the camera on a separate network segment to limit the potential impact of a successful attack.
- Strong Passwords: Ensure that the camera has a strong and unique password.
- Limit Access: Restrict access to the camera’s web interface to authorized personnel only.
- Monitor Network Traffic: Monitor network traffic for any suspicious activity.
