CVE-2026-79395
The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authentication on Xiongmai IP Camera XM530 devices running firmware HMT.CM2005‑v220608.1837 or earlier. By sending a specially crafted SOAP request, an attacker can use the admin username with any password when the account’s stored password is empty, gaining full control of the camera’s ONVIF functions.
