Xm530v200 X6-weq 8m Firmware: Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality
CVE-2025-65856 is a critical-severity missing authentication for critical functionality vulnerability in Xm530v200 X6-weq 8m Firmware from Xiongmaitech, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Xm530v200 X6-weq 8m Firmware versions: 5.00.r02.000807d8.10010.346624.s.onvif_21.06. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.74% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 55% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of Xm530v200 X6-weq 8m Firmware 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.
Affected products and versions
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiongmaitech | Xm530v200 X6-weq 8m Firmware | 5.00.r02.000807d8.10010.346624.s.onvif_21.06 | Not stated |
Version data comes from NVD's product matching. Confirm against the vendor advisory before deciding you are unaffected.

Official description
Authentication bypass vulnerability in Xiongmai XM530 IP cameras on Firmware V5.00.R02.000807D8.10010.346624.S.ONVIF 21.06 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access sensitive device information and live video streams. The ONVIF implementation fails to enforce authentication on 31 critical endpoints, enabling direct unauthorized video stream access.

The underlying weakness: Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality
The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator.
- When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to require strong authentication for users who should be allowed to access the data.
