Missing Authentication in Honeywell CCTV Password Recovery API
CVE-2026-1670 is a critical missing-authentication vulnerability in multiple Honeywell CCTV products. The issue is caused by exposure of an unauthenticated API endpoint tied to the device's "forgot password" workflow. An attacker can remotely invoke this endpoint without valid credentials to change the password recovery email address associated with the device account. After replacing the recovery address with one under attacker control, the attacker can trigger the password reset process and obtain administrative control of the affected device. Reported affected products include Honeywell I-HIB2PI-UL 2MP IP version 6.1.22.1216 and several camera lines running firmware WDR_2MP_32M_PTZ_v2.0, including SMB NDAA MVO-3, PTZ WDR 2MP 32M, and 25M IPC. CISA characterizes the flaw as "missing authentication for critical function" and assigns CVSS v3.1 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
