AXIS Camera Station Pro: Inadequate Encryption Strength
CVE-2026-63286 is a high-severity inadequate encryption strength vulnerability in AXIS Camera Station Pro from Axis Communications AB, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 6.20 as the first without the flaw, so updating AXIS Camera Station Pro to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.08% 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
- Update AXIS Camera Station Pro to 6.20 or a later version.

Official description
Database backups are vulnerable to offline attacks. Backups created using a version prior to the patched version are still vulnerable. AXIS Camera Station Pro automatically creates one more such backup for recovery purpose when the update is applied. Delete all these backups and change the credentials stored in AXIS Camera Station Pro.
