CVE-2026-0541

ACAP applications can gain elevated privileges due to improper input validation during the installation process, potentially leading to privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
