Swann Communications SWIFI-SE2KIC
Swann SWIFI-SE2KIC firmware through 2.0.22 can expose live video without authentication on the local network.
Missing auth exposes live video on Swann SWIFI-SE2KIC
Swann Communications SWIFI-SE2KIC camera firmware 2.0.22 and earlier is missing authentication on a critical function (CWE-306). An attacker who can reach the device on the local network can open the live video feed without logging in. The impact is disclosure of the camera’s video only; integrity and availability of the device are not affected, and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog does not list this CVE. CVSS 4.0 rates the issue 5.9 (medium), with a local attack vector and high confidentiality impact on the vulnerable system. No public proof-of-concept is known, and exploitation in the wild has not been reported.
What to do: Upgrade SWIFI-SE2KIC firmware to a release newer than 2.0.22 as soon as Swann publishes one; the advisory does not name a fixed build. Until then, keep these cameras off shared or guest Wi-Fi, restrict LAN access to trusted devices, and confirm the live-view path still requires authentication after any update.
