AXIS A1210 - Secure Entry: Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality
CVE-2026-63288 is a high-severity missing authentication for critical functionality vulnerability in AXIS A1210 - Secure Entry from Axis Communications AB, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 12.11.106.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating AXIS A1210 - Secure Entry to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.22% 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 A1210 - Secure Entry to 12.11.106.1 or a later version.
- Update AXIS A1601 - Secure Entry to 12.11.106.1 or a later version.
- Update AXIS A1610 - Secure Entry to 12.11.106.1 or a later version.

Official description
A WebSocket request sent to a specific API endpoint allows unauthorized access to a separate API endpoint. This bypasses the intended authentication layer.

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.
