Milestone Entry Level Mobile Password Vulnerability Disclosed

Author: Brian Karas, Published on May 24, 2017

While many manufacturers have only addressed cybersecurity vulnerabilities after public disclosures were made (or threatened), Milestone has proactively identified and resolved a vulnerability that could allow unauthorized remote access to camera feeds. The company recently notified partners of a potential vulnerability in default installations, including how to close the vulnerability to prevent unauthorized camera viewing.

Additional details of the vulnerability, and mitigation steps, are in this report.
