CVE-2024-47789 is a high-severity cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in IP Camera D8801 from D3D Security, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected IP Camera D8801 versions: All versions. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of IP Camera D8801 you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** This vulnerability exists in D3D Security IP Camera D8801 due to usage of weak authentication scheme of the HTTP header protocol where authorization tag contain a Base-64 encoded username and password. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a HTTP packet leading to exposure of user credentials of the targeted device. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

The underlying weakness: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Before transmitting, encrypt the data using reliable, confidentiality-protecting cryptographic protocols.
- When using web applications with SSL, use SSL for the entire session from login to logout, not just for the initial login page.
- When designing hardware platforms, ensure that approved encryption algorithms (such as those recommended by NIST) protect paths from security critical data to trusted user applications.
