Unauthenticated RCE in AVer PTC500S/PTC115/PTC500+/PTC115+ Cameras

IdentifiersCVE-2026-40624CWE-20

CVE-2026-40624 is a critical improper input validation vulnerability affecting AVer PTC500S, PTC115, PTC500+, and PTC115+ cameras. The flaw can be triggered through a specially crafted web request to the device’s web interface, allowing a remote, unauthenticated attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution. Available reporting indicates all versions of the listed models are affected. The issue is described at a high level only; no specific vulnerable function or parameter is provided in the supplied content.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution on the affected camera, with no authentication or user interaction required. Given the reported CVSS characteristics, compromise may lead to full loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the device, enabling actions such as device takeover, execution of attacker-controlled commands, alteration of configuration or firmware state, disruption of camera operations, and potential use of the device as a foothold within the network.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, minimize exposure of affected devices by ensuring they are not directly accessible from the internet, placing them behind firewalls, and isolating them from business networks. Restrict access to the web management interface to trusted administrative networks only. Where remote access is required, use secure methods such as fully updated VPNs rather than exposing the device interface publicly. Perform impact analysis and risk assessment before applying defensive changes in operational environments.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Update affected AVer PTC500S, PTC115, PTC500+, and PTC115+ cameras to the latest firmware available from the vendor and apply vendor-provided security patches. Because the supplied content does not identify fixed version numbers, organizations should consult AVer advisories and firmware release notes to verify the exact remediated builds for each model.
